I am creating block templates, with predefined formatting (i.e. font size and color). I want to be able to copy and paste content into these templates, while preserving the formatting of the text.
Currently, when I paste content into Rise (using 'Paste as Plain Text') the formatting in Rise gets overwritten, and I have to reformat the text to the size and color that is required. This somewhat defeats my intended purpose of the block template.
Is this issue due to something I am doing wrong?
Or is it not possible to preserve the formatting of the text when pasting into Rise?
Hi Karl, Thank you for the reply! I'm disappointed that's the case but pleased it wasn't something I was doing wrong. I guess the block templates will only speed up development to a certain degree!
We have created a Block Template for every Rise block type used by our organization. These block templates are styled and formatted to match the visual style guide of our organization.
When we build a new Rise course, we only use blocks from the Block Template library. It saves a lot of time, and also ensures style consistency between team members.
I see - so when you insert a Block Template, and replace the placeholder text with new content, do you TYPE in the new content to ensure the pre-defined formatting is preserved? (As opposed to pasting it in?)

Hi Aimee,
It is not possible to preserve the source formatting of text when pasting into Rise.

I would like to vote for this as a feature request! The request at minimum is to be able to copy/paste into Rise with bold formatting preserved.
