Hi! I'm not sure if I fully understand your use case. If you don't want tables, you can simply not load this plugin, and the text and its other attributes should be preserved.

Hi ,thanks for responding. My use case is if I have 2 tables and have data inside those 2 table ,let's say after saving I come back later and decided to remove 2nd table but want to keep the data as it's with other formating as it's like font size ,font weight,color etc thats where I am thinking if we have option to remove table while preserving data inside that .

This would require a custom feature that you could write. Possible implementation approach:

• Content Extraction: Develop a function that iterates through each cell in the table, extracts the content (text, images, or other media) from the model. getWalker would be a useful method.
• Placement Strategy: Decide where to place the extracted content in the document (e.g., directly after the table).
• Of course, remove the table element.
• User Interface:
  • Add an option in the table toolbar or context menu for 'Remove Table, Keep Content'.
  • You could provide a confirmation modal explaining that the table will be removed but the content will be preserved with its original formatting.
