Copy & paste text and keep style #1264

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I'm using the tool as an autoring tool (on mac) where I copy & paste & move 
around text in the document. I would like that the style is preserved so that 
the actual html-elements are also copied along with the text.

If I copy a text that is underlined (has <u>-</u> element in it) it should stay 
underlined when I paste it.

I too, would like to be able to copy and paste Italics and Bold letters from 
Microsoft Word documents into Sigil, without having to read the whole document 
and making corrections.

Some sources of paste code is not as like as the e-book readers want. Often 
surces (like Microsoft Word, but also often web pages) uses external class 
sources or strictly own classes. It would be cool if Sigil would recognize the 
entire text, intercepts the location of external css (if the address is 
absolute, otherwise suggest a way to download it, for example asking which is 
the url where the source was) and replace the "strange" styles with the most 
similar HTML standard tags. ie:
Replacing <span style="font:Arial 18 bolt"> with <H1>
or replacing <span class="xxx"> (where class xxx have the italic style and the 
font similar to the "default" one) with <I>

I found out that if I save the word doc from Microsoft Word to html format then 
open the file in sigil, I can "copy and paste" between my draft and my final 
work. There is some conflict between my draft sigil and my final sigil, in that 
my final version has "Drop Caps, Cover images, and the ability to return to the 
'Table of Contents' from the start of any chapter". Attached is my template 
that I use for my final product.
