“Remove fonts and formatting from clipboard text”
Description by Andrew B Johnson Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Just copy the formatted text onto the clipboard, then start the app and tap the Remove Formatting button. Thats all there is to it. A widget is also provided - just drag it onto the home screen and tap it to remove formatting from the clipboard text.
The inspiration for this app was Steve Miller's Pure Text utility for WIndows (http://stevemiller.net/puretext/).
