Retain table column widths pasted from Google Docs
📝 Provide a description of the improvement
Tables with resized columns are pasted correctly from CKE4 and MS Word, but not from Google Docs. We could improve the plugin to also handle this source.
If you'd like to see this improvement implemented, add a 👍 reaction to this post.
Mentioned in a "column width" row of https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/5652#issuecomment-545472596 so let's keep it in sync in case we fix it.
I checked quickly what markup is placed on Chrome (Win10) to clipboard:

On paper it looks like we should handle this markup with column resize plugin enabled 🤔 BUT there are 2 things visible instantly:
-
widthis passed as a HTML attribute instead ofstyleattribute on acolelement, - there's no wrapping
figure, maybe it messes up?
Most likely the first point is the source of the problem and we'd need to add conversion for it.
