Pasting

Using Sonat, you do not need to worry about pasting messy content from other sources. You can copy and paste the content you have created using Microsoft Word or Google Docs while maintaining its original structure and formatting, including headings, links, tables, and images.

While the focus is on supporting proper pasting from Microsoft Word and Google Docs at the current stage, Sonat also supports pasting rich text content from other sources such as Microsoft Excel. However, some styles and formatting might be lost, depending on the application's source.

Pasting content from Microsoft Word and Google Docs

Sonat provides automatic detection of the content from Word and Google Docs and transforms its structure, style, and formatting into clean HTML, which is then translated into semantic content by the editor.

Pasting Plain Text

You can paste plain text ( Pasting without formatting) using the Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + V keystroke. It causes the source formatting of the content to get replaced with the target formatting of the content it was pasted into.

Note: A double line break will turn into a paragraph, and a single line break will be turned into a soft break upon pasting plain text.

Drag and drop

Dragging and dropping textual content and block objects (images, tables, etc.) within the rich text editor is supported. You can also drop HTML and plain text from outside of the editor into Sonat rich text editor.
