[Feature request]: Option to customise 'Links' format output as a dotpoint list

Open BirdyOz opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

I am a great fan of the preconfigured 'Link' format for pasting lists of functional links into emails, Word, etc. I couple this with my own customised plaintext format so that I can move seamlessly between WYSIWYG and plain text editors. Hat tip - what a clever implementation.

I notice that the current 'Link' delimiter is a new line. As a result, when you paste this into a WYSIWYG editor and then convert it into a dotpoint list, only the first item gets a dotpoint, so it looks like so:

  • Link one
    Link two
    Link three

It is effectively a single bullet point, spread over multiple lines.

I would love the option to customise the 'Link' output so that it organises the output into a proper RTF dotpoint list, like so:

  • Link one
  • Link two
  • Link three

The newline issue looks like a bug. The rich text version of "Link" uses <br> to break lines, which it seems Word at least isn't interpreting as desired. This requires some exploration but is likely a simple fix. Will add to backlog.

At some point I'd like to introduce separate plaintext and rich text editing for custom formats. A simpler solution consistent with what you're suggesting is already on the roadmap as a "List marker" option mentioned under "Additional format options".
