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.
