Question thread #81

[pauamma]

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

Hello! I think I have a dev-related question. At least, it's about the Web site. I was wondering, when I copy-and-paste something, is there a way to prevent the background color showing up as well? For example, if I copy from a page that has a pink background and black letters, can I keep the letters black and avoid the pink background? Thank you!

This is known to happen when you paste web text into the RTE. I think one way to avoid this is to:
- paste the text into a plain text editor, like Notepad for Windows;
- clean it up if necessary;
- from there, copy it again and paste it into your final destination.

Oh, got it! That is very good to know. I'll give that a whirl. Thank you!
