Hi,

This is  a suggestion for a replacement/enhancement of the copy and export
to clipboard feature :

Is it possible to support the "HTML Format" clipboard format ?
This format is *really* easy (from what I saw, you already did the hard
job, HTML encoding) and would be very helpfull.

The best would be : I press Ctrl+C and the text with color and formatting
is copied into the clipboard as "HTML Format" clipboard format.
Another idea is to enhance your "export to clipboard" options... (I
prefer the first one)

Then, I can open an email client like thunderbird, Outlook express, or an
HTML Editor like Nvu or Frontpage, even express, and paste directly into
the WYSIWYG editor the copied and color-formatted text. Wow, great !
(maybe Dreamweaver too, if not, I could help...)

I coded this format for my job some years ago, (before thunderbird and Nvu
exist), and it seems to be still supported, even by new apps.

Here is a sample of the format (from NVU) :

Version:0.9
StartHTML:00000097
EndHTML:00000223
StartFragment:00000111
EndFragment:00000187
<html><body>
<!--StartFragment-->
Text <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sample</span>
<!--EndFragment-->
</body>
</html>

Version : I've never seen any other version
StartHTML : The index where the HTML code starts (from Version...)
EndHTML : The index where the HTML ends (size of this clipboard buffer)
StartFragment : index of the <!--StartFragment--> comment
EndFragment : index of the <!--EndFragment--> comment

This is the tool I use to spy the clipboard :

If you are interested and need any help, do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks in advance

Remio
