Why paste HTML is a separate workflow

Many people now receive HTML from an AI chat rather than from a local project folder. Copying that source into a publish form is faster than creating files, zipping folders, or wiring a repository.

Paste HTML is the lowest-friction path for one-off pages that need review today.

Quality checklist before publishing

A pasted document should include a title, meta description, and complete body content. If it relies on scripts or styles, prefer inline code or reachable external URLs.
