This is a plugin for Atto editor in Moodle that allows the user to paste content from several different rich formatting areas and either import the styling or import as unformatted text. To install, unpack to lib/editor/atto/plugins/pastespecial and visit the admin notifications page to install. Then add the button on that Atto toolbar settings page. The pastespecial settings page can be used to configure the allowed styles when importing formatting.

Pastespecial now "allows" tables (as of version 2016021100). It gets pasted in as normal without any handling. I STRONGLY encourage you to create your tables within Atto, but apparently not enough to artificially prohibit this.

Hi Joseph,

It does just what I expected. I think the most reasonable default value is "Ctrl+Shift+V" as you decided so it couldn't be better

Great work Joseph!

Hi Joseph,

Any chance that we might be seeing a version of Paste Special that is compatible with newer releases of Moodle (3.1 to 3.4) in the near future or have you abandoned the project? I could really use this functionality in Moodle 3.4.

Best regards,

Michael

Please, can you add moodle auto-updater to this plugin? We update moodle every week and have to find the plugin when the others all do it automatically. It would save so much time, thank you.

This is a great Moodle plugin, that I use on my site on Venice.

Hello, can you tell us if the plugin will support version 3.6 of Moodle in a near future ?

It seems nothing has evolved on this plugin since more than 3 years, and several people are waiting for a maintained version, compatible with latest Moodle versions.
It should certainly be considered as to be adopted : https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Plugins_adoption_programme
If someone wants to work on it, don't hesitate to do the necessary.

If this was being maintained, I'd feature request a mode that gives the user no options and just strips all formatting. That is, "Paste as Plain Text" as per MS Office and TinyMCE.

It appears that the source repository on github has gone private...

Is there any chance you make the plugin so that when you update moodle it automatically downloads the plugin as part of the upgrade? This would save so much time as currently when you upgrade it just says, "Additional Missing from disk!". Thank you so much.

Is this fine plugin going to be updated to Moodle 3.9.3?
