Instruct Heidi to always generate in plain text regardless of any formatting instructions in the template used.

Rich text does not past well into my EMR, and results in "**" before and after the bold text, and also can result in double spacing which is not preferred.

Hello Darrell Palmer! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific EMR system are you using that has issues with rich text formatting?
- Are there any other formatting issues besides bold text and double spacing that you have encountered?
- Would you prefer an option to toggle between plain text and rich text, or should plain text be the default for all outputs?

Hi Tom.
- I'm presently using PS Suite, though I expect to change EMRs within a year. In PS Suite, if anything copied from outside sources pastes in as plain text, but I get the textin there around any text that was bold in Heidi. That doesn't seem to happen from any other sources. Also sometimes Heidi pastes in with double spacing between paragraphs/new lines, where I don't want that. In that case, if I copy from Heidi and paste into an Evernote note, then recopy and paste into my EMR the problem is gone. But that's a pain in the butt kind of extra work around.
- I haven't appreciated any other formatting issues.
- I think if I could toggle in settings to choose plain text for all outputs, that would be great. When I transfer to a new EMR, maybe it will work better and I'll like the rich text (though I'm a pretty plain guy and will probably still prefer plain text).
