Description

Vikunja's task description editor is an HTML WYSIWYG thing. Is it intentional that it does not preserve <sub> and <sup> tags when pasting?

Even though most of the time I wish we had a simple markdown editor, the HTML thing has one big advantage to how I use Vikunja: sometimes, I copy-paste chunks from webpages that a task needs to reference instead of adding just a link with a fragment both to avoid having to go there again in the future and to get rid of the risk of having a broken link in a few months. When I do that, it basically just works and that's fantastic. Except for the <sub> and <sup> tags.

That can actually really impair legibility in some cases. Is this easy to change? Is there a reason not to change it? Having <sub> and <sup> buttons in the editor would also be nice, but I don't think I would use them often.

I chose the "Bug" type, but feel free to change it to a feature request, if that makes more sense to you.

Vikunja Version

v0.24.6

Browser and version

Chrome Version 138.0.7204.184 (Official Build) (64-bit)

No real reason, maybe only due to the fact that you can't set sup/sub text in the editor. Would love a PR to fix this.

And would it be fine to just allow it when pasting, or is it the only way to make the editor support it?

IIRC the editor only renders what it supports. That means in order for it to allow pasted content like this, it will need to support it in general.

There is a mark which supports this in the core, so integration should be relatively easy:
