Looking for offline BBCODE editor

[Doc_AElstein]

... never a good idea to use a program like Word as it includes formatting..... use the key sequence "Ctrl + Shift + V", ... will copy as plain text

Thanks sparkz_alot, I will bare that in mind. I guess formats can get caught / carried across because of the WYSIWYG ( „What You See Is What You Get“ ) editor used here.. I think I picked something up about that, and things along the lines that you are talking about here, https://python-forum.io/misc.php?action=help ,
I use Word because
_a) I like to have a good back which also includes extra stuff, notes, links, URLs etc. to the copy of anything I post, ( and I might not post it all , but I like to keep it all together, and I have got used to Word),
and
_b) I use the Word VBA codes I mentioned as an alternative to the forum editor to add in the BB code.

I think I understand what you are saying though – if I have a text from word with all the BB codes in it, then I need to make sure that I do the "Ctrl + Shift + V" so that it just pastes the text in. I was not aware of the "Ctrl + Shift + V" , so will practice that***

I am not too familiar yet with all the code formats in Python, but I will have a practice posting*** (https://python-forum.io/Thread-Just-Prac...ded-Thanks ) before I do anything for real so that I do not make a mess.. well at least no more than usual :) )
