Joachim_L Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 The moderators should feel free to remove this post if Serif is not to blame. Yesterday I copied some text from APu and pasted it into the JCE Editor from Joomla. Everything looked good so far on various destop browser, but in Chrome for Android several crossed rectangles appeared at the end of the text. EDIT/FOUND OUT: Obviously these were the paragraph breaks. Some editors had no problems, some editors had problems. Seems to be that APu is behaving correctly.

walt.farrell Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Paragraph breaks copied from Publisher are an odd combination of Unicode characters. For example, copying across a paragraph break in Publisher and pasting into Notepad++ I see this: Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Line and Line Return are far more common, Paragraph Separator is a late comer to the party and is not recognized by text editors.

One of the reasons why do not have the option for exporting the text from APu?

I can confirm I've already logged this with our developers: "Improvement - Add an export option to convert PSEP and LSEP to ASCII newlines" This would remove the characters from the text, and stop these icons being shown in applications that do not support Unicode PSEP & LSEP characters sfriedberg, Joachim_L, Old Bruce and 1 other 2 2 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

stinkykong Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Is there an estimated time for a fix on this? It's a real problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Christner Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Chiming in on this. Publisher is including unicode L SEP and P SEP characters in copied text that remain in the text (invisibly of course!) when pasted into an HTML editor using the Paste and Match Style command. And then they pop up randomly when viewed in browsers. Right now it's Microsoft Edge where they show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
