Currently pasting from clipboard convert contents in plain text which is good to avoid uncontrolled markup to get added to the translation (e.g., text with a style that you cannot manipulate later). However this has some limitations and we may want to tweak our approach:

• Allow pasting content that was copied from inside Content Translation. That would allow users to move things around without losing information (e.g., misplaced references).
• Allow pasting text with basic formatting that can be edited later such as bold, italics, and lists.
• Allow pasting links to articles and automatically adapt them. Users should be able to paste content from either (a) the target wiki (where links don't require adaptation (b) from other wikis (where links will get adapted to the corresponding articles of the target wiki).
