Clear and copy formatting

Strip formatting from text that came from somewhere else, or copy the look of one spot onto another.

createEditor('#editor', {
  toolbar: 'bold color | clearFormat formatPainter caseChange',
});

Clear formatting (clearFormat)

Removes bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, sub/superscript, inline code, text and highlight colors, font and size from the selection. Shortcut Ctrl+\. Links and paragraph formats such as headings, alignment and lists stay; code blocks are left alone. It needs a selection.

Format painter (formatPainter)

• Put the caret in the text whose look you want and press formatPainter. A short message confirms the copy.
• Drag over the target text, or select it with Shift+arrow keys: its formatting is cleared and the copied one applied.
• Copied: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, sub/superscript, text color, highlight, size and font. Paragraph formats like alignment or line height are not.
• It applies once. Press the button again or Esc to cancel before applying.

Letter case (caseChange)

Turns the selected text into UPPERCASE, lowercase or Title Case.

Presets

• board (default): clearFormat at the end of the first row, formatPainter under ⋯ more, no caseChange
• full: all three under more
• The selection toolbar has clear formatting too.

Text pasted from Word or HWP is already cleaned on paste. For plain text, paste with Ctrl+Shift+V (Paste cleanup).
