This:
Genetic and transcriptional evolution alters cancer cell line drug response
Nature (2018)

results when I cut and paste an article from some other sites, example is from Nature.com. A ransom note, IMO.

On vBulletin sites there was an icon that undid all of the HTML formatting tags. Where/what is our PF equivalent? bbCode and manually remove the cruft?

Despite the goofy appearance this is an important paper, BTW.
 
Highlight the text and click this icon.
Forum editor toolbar with a circled eraser-style icon at the right end, above a text box containing the instruction 'Highlight the text and click this icon.' and the heading 'Can you offer guidance or do you also need help?' with a down arrow.

Thanks anorlunda! I've always pasted stuff like that into notepad and then copied it from there in order to remove formatting. I'll definitely make use of that. :oldsmile:
