Can't copy paste colored text

Sergei Minyukevich_1j4wzi

Hi,

I have a script which generated HTML report (tables, paragraphs, texts) and when it is copy-pasted into Confluence, text color is lost (e.g. red, green, yellow).

Is there any workaround to fix it?

Sample of text:

<span style="color: red;">Current PHP version is deprecated so please schedule its upgrade with the manager.</span>

And is the span tag stripped, or is it still there?

Generally, expecting the formatting to be retained with pasting into Confluence will cause disappointment. I often just clear all formatting, then fix manually.

yes, it is there

fortunately, managed to fix - the issue was about limited number of text colors in Confluence

instead of red, yellow, etc it is needed to use "Confluence" hex color codes, e.g.

<span style="color: #ff5630;">Current PHP version is deprecated so please schedule its upgrade with the manager.</span>

p.s. Confluence-suitable hex codes can be retrieved from code inspector of Google Console or special plugins like Color Picker - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/colorpick-eyedropper/ohcpnigalekghcmgcdcenkpelffpdolg

Code inspector is your friend. You often have to see how a page is actually rendering to know how to fix CSS/formatting issues.
