Linebreak issue with the new webclipper

[ShaneNZ]

What I’m trying to do

I’m experimenting with the new Webclipper (which is overall awesome, highly recommend) but I’ve struck an issue with the output formatting, specifically around linebreaks while setting up a template.

I’ve got a tweet here that I’m wanting to clip into Obsidian, and you can see the linebreaks in the selected text itself - however, they’re not present in the clipped text:

If I copy the text in Chrome, go to Obsidian and paste it with CMD+V I get the same behaviour. But if I paste it into Obsidian with CMD+SHIFT+V (Paste and Match Formatting) then I get the line breaks preserved, as per the original text - exactly what I want.

My question is, how do I get the web clipper to essentially use “Paste and Match Formatting” when it puts the clipped content into Obsidian?

Things I have tried

Gone through the web clipper docs, tried the various content {{ }} and had a bit of a look through the forum, but haven’t come up with anything that’s worked so far…

Some futher experimentation has led me to this in the template setup as a solution:

I need to test it further on other sites/content, but it does seem to be working. Any better or more robust solutions are welcome, as I’m noty 100% sure why this has fixed the problem for me

Thank you for sharing your fix for this. Works in Safari on my Mac.

Yes, I’ve tried it on various sites/content/broswers now, and it seems to be reasonably robust, certainly good enough for my needs. Glad you’ve found it useful
