If you're using vim and you want to avoid problems with
text winding up looking like
this when you paste it into
your document, then the following handy dandy ~/.vimrc
addition really does the trick.
set pastetoggle=<F12>
To use it, put vim into insert mode, then hit F12 (or assign this to some
other key as you desire) and it will paste the text without screwing up the
way it's formatted.
