title: Bold text while pasting in Gmail composer
body: <p>I have to copy some text from a plain text file into Gmail's mail composer and make some parts of that text bold. I can obviously boldface those specific parts manually after pasting it to the composer. But is there a way to do this automatically such that when I copy that content to the Gmail composer those parts is already bold.</p>
  
  <p>For example, here's the plain text to be copied to Gmail:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>Breaking News:</strong> Elon Musk just invaded Mars.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I would normally copy this text to Gmail's composer and manually bolden the part <strong>Breaking news</strong>. But if the source would have been, say, MS Word file instead of a plain text file, Gmail would have boldfaced it for me.</p>
  
  <p>Background: The reason I am looking for this is that the plain text file is an output of a simple Java program and I would just edit the Java program to give the necessary output that would handle boldfacing.</p>
  
  <p>P.S: I have tried wrapping those parts with <code>&lt;b&gt;</code> tags like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;b&gt;Breaking news &lt;/b&gt;: Elon Musk just invaded Mars.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It didn't work. Gmail simply prints the  tag itself with my content.</p>
