Hi,
This feature we know, but since we deal with many people who collaborate we did not
manage to tell them all, or they forget...
Is it possible to force them use this, disable PASTE in rich text area?
Handling Copy/Paste is complex for multiple reasons. Two of them are:
* the clipboard can contain private information so the editor must
have special rights to be able to access it. For instance, you
wouldn't want a web page to steal the user/password you just copied,
or to put a dangerous shell script hoping you'll paste it by mistake.
* the editor doesn't know where the pasted text came from. It can be
from the text you are editing (you just copy a phrase from one
paragraph to another) or it can be from an external source (an office
document or a different web page). I'm sure your users wouldn't be
happy if they had to go through the paste dialog each time they copy a
word from a paragraph and paste it in another paragraph.
Hope this helps,
Marius

Hi,
Many of our users use copy and past from windows (or mac) to bring textsnippets into the
wiki
In the display it looks fine, but when you edit the wiki, not the wysywig editor, there
is a lot of <span>, ((())) or sometimes even <html> tags.
Is it possible to configure the editor (or something else) that it is only possible to
paste UTF ascii text without any styling (!) (so it must be dummy-proof)
Or better, to automatically convert styles that we allow; like bold, italic, underline,
upper, lower...
There is a paste icon on the WYSIWYG editor tool bar (check the Import
menu if you have an older version of XWiki Enterprise). You should use
it instead of pasting directly into the rich text area. On the dialog
that it opens there is a check box that you can use to filter the
styles (only the basic styles like bold, italic, etc. are preserved).
Hope this helps,
Marius
