Folks,
Does anyone know how I may be able to paste something copied with the
windows edit copy command that is rich text into a tiddler such that
it is formatted to tiddly wikis RTF format ?
Even an intermediate converter would be helpful, eg; copy, past into
other tool, get conversion paste into tiddly wiki.
Thanks in advance TonyM

What is 'tiddly wikis RTF format' ? Do you mean just keeping the text
formatting? In which case put {{{ above and }}} below the first and
last lines.

Wiki formatting eg;
__underline__
''bold''
*bullets
**deeper bullet
etc...
As appears in say text prepared in windows WORDPAD.
This formatting carries over (using cut/paste) to other applications that understand the format characters in the clipboard data.
Notepad.exe does not, so you loose the formatting, nor does a tiddler/web text input field, but then you can manually apply all the wiki formatting to get it back.
Perhaps a HTML intermediate will help.

Hi Anthony,
FCKEditorPlugin allows to paste .doc formatted text and saves it as
html formatting in the tiddler:

Thanks,
However despite all the various possibilities including firefox plugins none seems to accept tables within text as copied from Outlook or wordpad.
I know I can use tools to create tables with pasted text but none seem to do the whole thing, RTF formats and tables.

Thanks Tony M

The following will convert a table copied from Excel or Word into TW
format... mostly. It only handles simple tables, and has this annoying
habit of putting an extra | between each row. But even so it is much
faster then doing it all from scratch.
!Paste a table from Excel into the text area below
<html><p align="center"><textarea id="xclToTw" rows="10" cols="60"></
textarea><br><button onclick="(function(){var
ta=document.getElementById('xclToTw'); displayMessage('original: ' +
ta.value); ta.value=ta.value.replace(/^|$|\t/gm, '|');})();" >
Translate</button></p></html>
Or at least it does in IE6. Not sure about FireFox.
