Pasting Chats Mangles Markdown
Jeff Bennion
Make it work the way ChatGPT's paste works. Chat GPT paste correctly preserves the markdown formatting. You.com's paste maintains the markdown (sort of). When I paste it into a Markdown app like Typora, it is all smooshed together in one huge paragraph. When I paste into Word it comes in with the ** / and other marks. I have added a Markdown add-on to Word that will then create the properly formatted text from my pasted chat which I can THEN copy that one, but it's annoying and ChatGPT "just works".

Text Loses Formatting
When I copy from a You.com chat and paste to Word or Notepad, all the paragraph returns are missing. Instead of a nicely formatted portion of text, I get one big blob. It was happening to me only in SEO Content Crafter (not Express or Smart), but now it doesn't matter what I use. This is a productivity drain because I have to have the AI give me something (I've been using "***") at the end of every paragraph and heading so that I can do a search and replace. This is taking too much time. I think it is a very simple fix on your end. Please keep me updated. I love your product and hope to continue using it.
I looked in the previous bug reports and it appears that this problem was fixed a while ago, but the problem is back. Developers need to do proper regression testing when releasing a new version. I know this is difficult to do. I have done it. We just need to do better when stuff like this happens. Thanks guys.

We need true Markdown support. I like the way Claude will generate a MarkDown file with the results that can be downloaded.
