Marcin Wichary:

The problem is that PAMS is drunk with power and flattens everything on its way[…]

That includes:

• emphasis by italics or bolding
• links
• bulleted and numbered lists
• strike-through text
• headlines

None of these are “style.” This is actual information that should not be removed.

Sometimes, Paste and Match Style is what you want, but I like when apps also provide other options, as he discusses. For example, the Omni apps now offer Paste and Merge Styles.

Previously:

• OmniFocus 4.8.10
• OmniOutliner 6.1
• Pure Paste 1.1
• Paste Without Style
