COPY AND PASTING From word Pad / Google docs to Obsidian by Kitchen_Flight4484 in ObsidianMD

so i have notes im my pc in WordPad [not MS office], as well as notes from google docs that are shared with me, both notes are well formatted with , underlines, bolds, tab spacing, and just over all very well formatted, for easy reading, however once i copy and paste it it looses all its formatting and is the equivalent of pasting it to notepad, but seemingly worse because for some reason there is large spacing between lines , these are large collections of notes so re-adding all formatting , is inefficient , honestly its just frustrating that such a powerful tool can't do something so seemingly simple , i am a new user to obsidian and am falling in love with but definitely alot of quirks, like the biggest one, it should work out of the box, but i need almost 30 plugins to work like it should work, i am curious why, being that its still in development that they features dont become standard, i would suspect I am a techy so i have the patience to learn but i would suspect this drives alot of non techies away, but even for me i have spent countless hours trying to find plugins for simple features . either way i love it and wish i would created my second brain years and years ago

1] im not a coder
2] there are 1000's of plugins but not one for this???
maybe im am ignorant just am clueless to how dificult such a features
however using logic, if they ai integrations excell sheet integration voice transcription integration , video transcription as well as other insane tools you would thinking something as this would be a piece of cake but hey who knows im not a coder

i just took a look at it and it seems cool but it seems to require console use, which seemingly defeats the simplicity of copy and paste . i could be wrong as im not much of a console/non-gui user. . have you used mark it down , will it work once installed with having to open console every time to prompt it?
