Idea Delivered

With the release of SDL Tridion Sites 9.5 we have updated our Rich Text editor, which brings Paste and Paste special functionality back into the product. The use case is for a "clean" paste from a word processor such as Word.

Improved Paste Functionality

Improve the paste functionality for RTFs because the results of the paste operation are currently inconsistent.

Editors want the ability to paste plain text, keep source formatting, or to match the styling of the destination (keep only select markup, but not styles from the srouce). Developers and organizations want the ability to restrict non-approved markup (no Word-specific attributes).

Each Rich Text Field capability is configured in the schema.

For Copy/Paste operations you have full control over the markup that is allowed but adding an XSLT filter.

Judging from the number of questions about this on the Tridion stack exchange, this is an area where people struggle.

Check out my article on this Remove unwanted markup with XSLT filter templates, it was written over ten years ago but still applies today.

See SDL documentation Creating a format area for more details .
