Copy as Rich Text

Copy your content for pasting into Google Docs, Word, Notion and more

Rich text can be useful if you manually work with general purpose document editors like Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Notion and so on. The rich text can easily be pasted into these tools along with the basic styling that would be needed: bold/italics, bullets, lists, tables and so on.

Read below to learn how to copy your content as rich text...

Do not select and copy directly from the article preview!

You first need to configure a base url so that we can construct your internal links properly. If you copy directly from the preview, your content could have broken/incorrect links and this could lead to SEO issues.

Open "Read mode"

After an article has been written, click on the "Read action button.

Input "Base URL"

Before you can copy/export your content, you need to provide a base url for your cluster articles.

The base url will be used to determine the location of all of the articles in the cluster, and is what helps us build the internal links between articles. It is important to provide the actual base url that the articles will have after publishing so that they can all reference each other correctly.

For example:

• Your website is https://caffeinated.club

• Your website uses the url structure https://caffeinated.club/[category]/[article-slug]

• You are working on a cluster called "latte art animals" with 3 articles:

  • "How to create a latte art elephant" with slug "latte-art-elephant"

  • "How to create a latte art zebra" with slug "latte-art-zebra"

  • "How to create a latte art cat" with slug "latte-art-cat"

• You intend to publish this cluster in a category called "coffee-art"

You would need to provide the base url: https://caffeinated.club/coffee-art

Machined would assume links for articles as follows:

• https://caffeinated.club/coffee-art/latte-art-elephant

• https://caffeinated.club/coffee-art/latte-art-zebra

• https://caffeinated.club/coffee-art/latte-art-cat

Click "Copy"

After you've provided a base url, the Copy button will become available - click it and the rich text content will be copied to your clipboard.

This step is important, you need to actually click the Copy button rather than selecting the text and copying it yourself. This is the only way to ensure links are built correctly...
