Works Perfectly

It works as it described yet it doesn’t work on WordPress’ Guttenberg editor. I hope the developer see this review.

Works Great.

Added to a company intranet site. Works great when pasting content from Google docs/sheets

Gets rid of the pesky problem of unexpected erroneous tags in the post content. No more explaining to do. Thanks!
