Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/3782

How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

When LLM response (Gemini) contains numbered list like:

  1. Phase one, install
  2. Phase two, enjoy

We can not select and copy the list with the numbering. Only text gets copied and we need to manually edit and add the list numbering. This is very fustrating when copying text for example to markdown file doc. When ou copy-paste the above list, you get:
Phase one, install
Phase two, enjoy

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Ask for a list of something, try copy paste the ansver text to markdown file and you will loose the numbering.

That is simply CSS formatting, what you copy is the raw assistant response - you can also instruct the AI to use numbers directly. it is likely doing bullet points?

If you click on the pencil icon on the assistant response can you paste it into here so we can see if that is the case to be sure?
