When you copy an answer from Teacherspace Chat, it comes in ‘Markdown’ format, which may look odd when pasted elsewhere.

If you want to paste the answer into a Google Doc, you have the option to get the same formatting as in the chat by doing the following:

  1. Click on ‘Tools’‘Preferences’ in Google Docs

  2. Check the box ‘Automatically detect Markdown’

  3. Right-click and select ‘Paste from Markdown’
