hello dear community,

I’m looking for a way to copy a table generated in ChatGPT app into DEVONthink. In my case, I’m using a rich text note.

The table in ChatGPT looks like that:

but when I copy it into the DT, the table formatting is broken. Any tips on how to copy a table from ChatGPT into Devonthink?

thanks!

This is not an issue with DEVONthink.
What you’re seeing in the ChatGPT app is styled HTML, not rich text. And it copies as raw Markdown. There is no style information included.

Actually ChatGPT.app copies plain text, rich text and HTML but not Markdown to the clipboard. And pasting this into a rich text document or an HTML page works indeed as expected over here (of course the styling is different).
