Description

Keeps inline font-size when you paste inside the Anki editor — e.g. copying text from one card to another, or copying part of a card and pasting it below. Anki's editor deliberately strips inline font-size (and font-family / width / height / max-*) from pasted content, even for internal copy/paste. This add-on preserves it. What it does For internal pastes it still runs Anki's own pre-filter (tags/images), then inserts via a raw execCommand insert instead of Anki's filtering pasteHTML Result: inline font-size survives internal pastes External pastes (from outside Anki) are left completely untouched Safe fallback to Anki's default paste on any error Configuration (Tools → Add-ons → Config) enabled (default true): master switch apply_when_stripping (default false): also keep font-size on internal "strip formatting" pastes By default only "paste with formatting" is affected; a deliberate "strip formatting" paste keeps Anki's default behaviour.
