Text Cleaner: Removing formatting from pasted text
Clean up pasted and imported text in the Document Editor using the 
Text Cleaner plugin. It removes unwanted formatting while preserving document structure, making it a smarter alternative to the standard clear-formatting tool. Use it to clean up copied web content, standardize internal documentation, polish emails, and prepare academic or technical texts.
The plugin is compatible with ONLYOFFICE Document Editor 7.0 and later on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Please refer to the GitHub page of the plugin to learn more.
