Hi, Try wrapping all your pasted text in html pre tag
<pre>pasted text here new lines honoured </pre> In tiddlywiki this gives it a grey background and does not render wiki text Same if you wrap it all in div with the pre white space <div style="white-space: pre;"> pasted text here new lines honoured *List * list </div> Do you want to edit it and add Wikitext? Also rather than content type = text/x-tiddlywiki have you tried content type = text/plain Tones On Saturday, 5 September 2020 13:13:44 UTC+10, BhKh wrote: > > Hello!
