1.5 feature req: simplify rich text note creation

ptmcclellan
(Thankyou for making this wonderful implementation! It is functioning for me also as a Google Notebook replacement)

One of the nice features of both the Zotero and Google Notebook implementation is the right-click to create a note from text highlighted on a web page.

While Zotero does this, It would be logical to either default to, or offer the option to have the note created from the right-click of highlighted text retain the style of the web site.

The ability to quickly and simply clip pictures and styling along with text from only the selected section of a web page is extremely valuable in the early stages of research for me.

This would be particularly useful for styled tables or outlines: if I copy & paste the selection manually into a new note, the rich formatting is automatically retained. If I try to use the quicker method, the styling is stripped out.

Thanks,

Paul

    Thanks Paul. You gave me the trick that I was looking for. Although it is redundant copying and pasting the text again but it makes me keep the original styling.
    But still, I'd like to second Paul's s request. It will be really useful if we can maintain the original styling with one click. -- Peter B.
