Hi everyone. I've finally been able to start posting my books and stories here (sorry, been out sick with medical issues the last month) and when I tried to post my first chapter, I copied it out of LibreOffice, and into the text box, and now all my text is janky. The tabs are gone, special items like italics are gone, and it is double spacing everything. Is there a way to get a nice, clean past that looks formatted exactly how it is in my writing doc? I'm new to posting stories here, and I'm not sure how to fix this using the UI of the editor that's included on the page. Any help is welcome.

Strange. I use Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V copying and pasting formatted text from MS Office Word docx and it's never happened to me.
Are using OpenDocument Text as a source?
Or Is it perhaps LibreOffice that's not compatible with SH?
