Element-web: Automated upload of long pastes to a .txt file upload
Created by @ richvdh:sw1v.org.
You appear to be pasting 500 lines of code! would you like to use a pastebin instead?

Which external service to rely on risks sparking a flame war, can raise privacy/policy/other issues and such services might not be available for example in corporate environments.
I suggest the existing file upload mechanism is used instead, and more care is taken to make previews for text/code work nicely.

+1 to using the existing file upload.

We should also handle this in bridges to avoid stupid Matrix clients getting it wrong: matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc#56. I'd argue that one is higher priority, as a more general solution to the problem.

the IRC bridge now handles this, making it slightly less urgent, but would still be nice.
