How to add a rich text plugin to handle pasted content?

[EasonSoong]

I found payload rich text editor has a withHTML plugin by default. And it handles the pasted content from other places like google doc. When I try to use my own plugin to handle the pasted content. I found it's impossible because the withHTML's plugin will be executed before my plugin and just return in some conditions without triggering my plugin. Is there a way to solve this problem?

Hello guys, any suggestions about this?

Hey @EasonSoong — this is a good question. I think we need to re-order plugin execution, so that your plugin is executed before the built-in paste handling. That will solve this issue. It would be a trivial PR to make as well if you are up for it. Would just need to reorder the plugin wrapping within the rich text component itself.

Are you up for a PR? Otherwise we can get to this at some point soon!

Yes, I would love to add this pr. I am using a rich editor plugin to support this feature for now. At the plugin I use an input element to handle the paste event and do the data transformations, and I think paste directly from the editor could improve ux.
