Basic HTML mode for editor

[DiveShallow]

The editor seems to add a lot of extra markup when copying and pasting. It would be nice to have a basic html mode that only used

<p></p> for paragraphs, and <b>,<u>, and <i> for formatting and </br> for extra line breaks like it was poetry.

Let CSS from the template do the rest.

For example, in AnkiMobile, if I have the following in a field in markup view </>:

<p>
This is the first paragraph.
</p>
<p>
This is the second paragraph. Cut and paste this sentence.
</p>

In AnkiMobile, if I switch to wysiwyg view. Highlight the last sentence. Cut it. Paste it in the exact same place. Then switch back to markup view, this is what I see:

<p>
This is the first paragraph. 
</p>
<p>
This is the second paragraph.<span style="color: var(--field-fg); font-family: -apple-system-body; background: var(--field-bg);">&nbsp;</span><span style="color: var(--field-fg); font-family: -apple-system-body; background: var(--field-bg);">Cut and paste this sentence.</span></p>

And if I copy and paste something with line breaks it adds a bunch of div’s.

I would love a simple mode toggle in the editor settings that doesn’t go crazy with the markup.

I think this comment belongs to the AnkiMobile section and not this one.

That styling is not supposed to be included, and looking into this is on the todo list.
