Feature Request: Import Rich Text Blocks and Pages

Dear NicePage Staff
I do have a feature requests. I'm not sure where to post feature requests, so I will post it here for now.

I have to publish a lot of content, including a lot of Rich Text and Source Code and technical texts. Creating all this in NicePage with Rich Text Elements is very tedious - in fact not really feasible. I would really like to be able to import Rich Text into an Element and/or Block and/or Page. Being able to to use 'Markdown' or 'reStructuredText' would be nice. Also , import formated content from MSWord or Google Doc would be nice. There should be at least one way to get large blocks of formated text/content into Elements and Blocks.

I don't want to have to use iframes or anything like that - I need native rendering. Using the HTML elements is an option, but it can't easily be edited, and also doesn't format properly inside NicePage.

In the past, I have also requested for a way to render 'source code' using a 'syntax highlighter' (for C++, python, javascript etc). Anyone who has a technically oriented web site is going to need something like that.

Also, I find NicePage's Rich Text Element lacking features and also feel clumsy at points. It's not on par with an editor like TinyMCE or equivalent.

Other than that, I really like NicePage - I just hope that there will be some improvement in this area.

Thank you!

Hello

I would like to reiterate my previous requests. I find Rich-Text support in NicePage quite poor, both for writing and pasting. I am creating a site for selling software. I find it quiet hard publishing relatively basic procedures. For example I don't see any way to indent the rich text, nor highlight the background color of words or phrases.
Furthermore , when pasting formated text form MS-Word - the resulting format is not a great reflection of the original. It would be helpful if there was a way to convert external formats into native NicePage objects - like conversion of 'Markdown' format or 'MS-Office' formats into native NicePage Rich Text. But at a minimum, please add indentation and background color highlight in the native Rich Text component!

Furthermore, I have already requested this at least once - it would be good to have the ability to display Syntax Highlighted Code on a page more easily. This could be done with a plug-in like EnlighterJS or PrismJS. There should be a NicePage component that I can easily add from the menu, rather than having to manually configure HTML/CSS/JS via custom headers and HTML5 components which is really clumsy and not easy to get to work.

Another thing is that it should be possible to include some external files in a NicePage project - like Boostrap CSS. Right now I have to set up separate hosting for any include javascript/css code. This is annoying. It would be much better if I could just make these files part of the project - maybe in a separate sub directory like external_files/ which I could then reference in html headers.

Honestly, it's really time to make some improvements in these areas - some of these things really aren't that complicated. Thanks
