When copying text (gmail draft in this example) and pasting into e.cash, formatting is being stripped. I can create an issue for it, wondering if we should attempt to fix parts of it first, like line breaks, then markdown in a separate issue? Thoughts/ideas?

Seems straightforward for an external contributor to work on.

It is not straightforward but looks like so.

Feels like this one should hold until #3229?

@Jag96 Thanks for the invite. But Changes to HTML->MD conversion should be separate issues and looking at the complexity, possibly multiple for the different tags listed here #3047.
Jag96 commentedon Jul 9, 2021
Ok, how about we split this up into 2 issues:
Then the rest of the HTML->MD conversions can happen in #3047. How does that sound @parasharrajat?
parasharrajat commentedon Jul 9, 2021
@Jag96 Sounds good.
Jag96 commentedon Jul 10, 2021
Created another issue here and invited @parasharrajat to the Upwork job. Used the italics conversion for the title, but feel free to choose any of the items from the tracking issue.
