Summary

In this article, you will learn the differences between a clean HTML tag from a table copy-pasted from another source and a table created with the Jama Connect®.

Solution

In this example, we will use the Word document table (external source) and compare it with one created inside Jama Connect@.

As you can see in the picture above, when you copy/paste content from a different source, additional HTML tags are expected to be added to the content. Jama respects what was taken from the source when you perform this task. We need control over other tools managing their unique background HTML tags. Suppose you want to keep using the copy-paste from another source but don't want to get those additional HTML tags and you are not familiar with this topic. In that case, you can try removing those using free HTML Remover website tools, which can help you clean obsolete/unnecessary tags.

For example, you can use this website: https://www.htmlwasher.com We recommend using/creating the tables inside Jama to avoid obsolete/unnecessary tags. If you want to learn more about how to create tables in Jama Connect properly, we invite you to read the following article:
