What Bloated Markup Gets Removed? (Before vs. After)
When you copy and paste directly from word processors like Microsoft Word or Google Docs into a CMS code editor, they inject hundreds of bytes of proprietary CSS styles, font declarations, and wrapper spans that override your website's stylesheet:
| Source Issue | Raw Word / Google Docs Paste (Before) | Cleaned Semantic HTML (After) |
|---|---|---|
Word MsoNormal & Inline Fonts |
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri">Hello</p> |
<p>Hello</p> |
Google Docs <span> Wrappers |
<li dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight:400">List item</span></li> |
<li>List item</li> |
| Blank Spacer Paragraphs | <p> </p><p><strong></strong></p> |
(Automatically removed) |

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a Microsoft Word or Google Docs file to clean HTML without inline styles?
Copy the text from your Word or Google Docs document and paste it into the Rich Text Input editor. Make sure Remove inline styles & classes, Remove empty tags & blank spacers, and Unwrap redundant <span> tags are checked in the right-hand column. All proprietary styles and classes are removed immediately while keeping headings, bold/italic text, lists, tables, and links.
Why does pasting from Google Docs wrap every paragraph in <span> tags?
Google Docs places inline <span style="font-weight: 400;"> tags around text nodes on the system clipboard. Keeping both Remove inline styles & classes and Unwrap redundant <span> tags enabled removes the style attributes first and then unwraps the empty <span> tags so only clean semantic tags remain.
Can I edit the raw HTML source code directly inside the editor?
Yes! Click the Source button in the Rich Text Input toolbar to switch between visual WYSIWYG editing and raw HTML source editing at any time.
