Everyone should have a favorite editor for just such emergencies. You need an editor that can see and replace a single line return with a double line return. I usually use Emacs for this kind of thing. In the past, I've also used Notetab for Windows. I believe Word will let you search for special codes.
Stuff coming off of PDF files often doesn't have quite the same arrangement as what you see on screen. It may help to try different PDF readers (older versions of Adobe had more copy options). There are also converters to turn PDF into text. Calibre is the only one I know of that's free. You will probably always be stuck doing a little fix-it by hand. -- Mark On Sunday, August 2, 2015 at 1:36:55 PM UTC-7, AlexHough wrote: > > This is slightly off topic.... > > I wanted to take a list of references from a paper (in Pdf format) > > Then I cut and paste the text into a tiddler, the paragraph formating is > lost. > > Can anyone suggest a quick way of adding back the spaces between the lines > to that I can then split the tiddler using the new tool. > > I think this could be a great tool for the education tiddlywiki project. > With a few adaptions, you could cut and paste a list of references and get > a set of tiddlers pre-populated with date, author and paper title fields. > they could then be displayed on a timeline.
