Why AI output looks formatted
Chatbots format answers in Markdown so they render nicely in chat. When you paste into other tools, those Markdown markers can look messy or break styling.
Step-by-step (tool + manual fallback)
Paste the AI output into Remove Markdown Formatting.
If formatting remains, run Remove Formatting to strip leftover HTML.
If you want one paragraph, enable Remove Line Breaks.
