Pasting content

Smart paste adapts content according to the context:

  • Pasting HTML : Enodo Semantic automatically converts HTML into structured blocks.
  • Pasting multi-block content : the current block is split, and the new blocks are inserted.
  • Pasting into a table : tabulated data (HTML or tab-separated text) is parsed into cells.
