Copy and paste in Pages

When I copy and paste a website from Safari or Firefox, it comes out as a line, not text. How do I show the text instead of the line.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

Unlike TextEdit, LibreOffice, or MS Word, Pages neither imports nor exports HTML/CSS content — and that inhibits its ability to copy/paste identical text formatting from websites. You may have to paste into TextEdit first, and then, because that content is now RTF content, you may experience better results copy/pasting into Pages afterward.
