Wordpaste is a lightweight TypeScript library that cleans HTML pasted from Microsoft Word and Google Docs, preserving equations as editable LaTeX instead of flattened images. It integrates with major web editors (Tiptap, ProseMirror, Lexical, Quill) via a single transformation function, solving a common but under-served pain point for web editor developers.

Target audience: frontend developers, web editor developers, full-stack developers
