Something new???

[Randi]

When I copy and paste anything into the text field here from Wikipedea, I cannot get rid of the blue color nor the underlining. I can format the normal text, though.

Christmas (Old English: Crīstesmæsse, meaning "Christ's Mass") is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ^[5][6] and a widely observed holiday, celebrated generally on December 25^[2][3][4] by billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days of Christmastide.^[7] Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world's nations,^[8][9][10] is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians,^[1][11][12] and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season.

Randi, if you then go back to "edit" the text, you'll see it really looks like this:

I just put a bunch of spaces in the "break" the tags so you can see them! Then it is easy to delete them.
