Clean HTML for Blogger

Blogger (Blogspot) is Google's free blogging platform. While both Blogger and Google Docs are Google products, pasting from Docs into Blogger still carries all the messy inline styles. Publish Helper cleans the HTML so your Blogger posts render cleanly with your chosen template.

HTML Issues with Blogger

Despite both being Google products, Blogger's Compose editor preserves all inline styles from Google Docs — including font-family, font-size, color, and line-height on every element. Blogger's HTML editor accepts raw HTML, but the Compose editor may re-add styles when you switch between views.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Google Docs paste badly into Google's own Blogger?

+

Google Docs and Blogger use different HTML rendering systems. Docs generates inline-styled HTML for document fidelity, while Blogger expects clean HTML styled by its template CSS. They're separate products that don't coordinate on paste formatting.

Should I use Compose or HTML view in Blogger?

+

For clean HTML from Publish Helper, always use HTML view. Blogger's Compose view may re-process your clean HTML and add its own formatting markup.

Is Publish Helper better than Blogger's built-in paste handling?

+

Yes. Blogger's Compose editor preserves Google Docs inline styles, and its 'Paste as plain text' option removes all formatting including structure. Publish Helper gives you the middle ground: structure preserved, styles removed.
