Copy from certain web sites

Post by Jon »

Select and copy content from this example page:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/23/scie ... =771641329

While the rendering is generally better in 7, there are no spaces separating paragraphs. In version 6, paragraphs are spaced properly.

Can this be improved?

Thank you.

I tried to reproduce this. However struggle a bit. What should be used as 'start' and 'end' of the selection. I assume it isn't simply ctrl+a. ctrl+c. And what does it look like being wrong (screenshot). The browser you're using might be of relevance too (Firefox/Chrome).

An alternative (which contains most of the above) would be creating a new database, pasting site in it and send it by e-mail to Petko (support@milenix.com)

Jon, MyInfo 7 properly imports the paragraphs, but by default there is no vertical space between different paragraphs in MyInfo 7. You can change that by going to Format > Style > select Normal style, click Paragraph and add 6 or 8 points in the Space After setting. Please note that this will affect your whole notebook, but probably this is what you expect anyway.

Thank you Petko. I didn't know that.
