Heading Tags have nested <span> tags

[rfender]

If I make a selection of text and choose “Heading 4” to wrap it in an H4 tag, the text is also wrapped in a tag which breaks the formatting. The text does not look like an <h4> at that point.

I’ve tried removing lines before and after the selected text, cut/paste’ing the text again but all to no avail. Sometimes it works.

If I have some content that starts with an H3 then has a couple of paragraphs (<p>) then I want a sub-heading with an H4, that H4 will have it’s text in a <span>

Example:
<h4> <span>Some Heading Text</span> </h4>

What I want is:Preformatted text
<h4>Some Heading Text</h4>

I will reply to my own post but it still needs a solution.

I found that cutting and pasting my content from Google Docs inserts arbitrary code, specifically span tags with some formatting applied.

Wordpress has a clear formatting feature. Is there an equivalent available in Cornerstone editor?

Hi Robert,

Cornerstone is using the default Wordpress editor.

A workaround would be if you are copying text from any document and pasting it in rich text mode, do a CTRL SHIFT V instead of the usual CTRL V if you are using Mac, it should be CMD SHIFT V. This will paste the text and will not include the formatting from the source document.

Hope this helps.
