This is the web page I was trying to copy and paste, and do this with |
| 93 |
the most. |
| 94 |
|
| 95 |
https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/waveforms/555-circuits-part-1.html |
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
I highlight the body part and try to leave out the top, bottom and |
| 98 |
sides. I call it the useless fluff. It ends up looking like the |
| 99 |
attached file. I end up deleting the social icons and such by hand in |
| 100 |
LOo. Of course that part works fine when it is working. It's the |
| 101 |
pasting part that causes problems. I explain in pretty good detail how |
| 102 |
I do it above. Should be easy enough to reproduce. |
| 103 |
|
| 104 |
The solution from Michael to save the page locally then copy from that |
| 105 |
works. You are correct that they are always tweaking something seemingly |
| 106 |
even when something works fine. I dunno. |
| 107 |

Thanks. |
