Handouts Not Formatting Properly.

Hello, this is a problem that happened only recently. Everytime i try to save the content of an handout, it doesn't save the formatting properly. For example, if i want to both use Italic and the strikethrough, it only saves the Italic, and everytime i try to put the strikethrough it doesn't save (Sorry if my english isn't perfect, i hope it's clear what problem i have)

Firstly, you should use the Help Center and Send a request to get Roll20 staff attention and a ticket to track your issue. It’s mostly community help here.  Secondly, try editing your handout in another app and pasting the formatted text into the Handout. That’s what I always do, because I find the Roll20 editor both irritating and unreliable. I use a Markdown editor (iA Writer) and previewer (Markup 2) myself. 
Oh, thank you for explaining to me how it's done, i'm sorry for this, i will use your advice though, thank you! For now it seems to be working, i hope Roll20 will solve the issue soon!

You really should submit a ticket with console logs.  I created a new handout in one of my games.  Made a line of text with italics and strike through.  Made a new line of italics text.  Finally, I made a line of strike through text.  They all saved as expected, so I can't duplicate this issue.

Styles applied by the Roll20 text editor will be respected and converted by the Dark Mode styling. Text pasted in by another editor will act unpredictably.

Make sure to start with fresh clean text. Use the eraser button to remove styling and/or hold the shift button down while pasting, if using text created by another source.
