I think the idea is that if you have enough space for a viable landscape
representation I think you should support it. The line between phone and tablet
is very blurry and according to the rumours even Apple will start to support
landscape multi-column apps on the new phones. Eg. :

I'd suggest using the "effective htmlText of field " as the
effective keyword will add tags for the inherited styles of the field
(like default font, etc.)

Thank you Andy and Paul for your input. Having said that, I have tried
both techniques and am still not able to produce the results.
Any other insight I might be missing? Seems like such a simple thing, not
sure why I am struggling with this.

What is the size? It's been a long time
Several keys cause the engine to perform work on the data before returning it.
I would compare with pulling data from the raw clipboard to ensure the engine
is not manipulating it first.

Hey Peeps... so I'm stress testing a clipboard tool I have been working on

like 3 or 4 seconds (for each key)
its a large string...but
Hi Richard...to copy it from a custom property into a variable takes a
blink of an eye.
the file is i think 4.5 mb or so.
takes 14ms seconds to do a md5 hash
its definitely the slowness of the clipboarddata function.

The problem with the fullClipboardData and clipboardData is that when you
ask for a text key type that isn't on the system clipboard, then LiveCode
will generate it for you.
So if you ask for styled text, first it will just give you styled text from
the clipboard. If not available, it will try
I don’t think you can count on the shutdown message, so you would export on
each change.
Arrays can use text for the key, so you could make things easier by using loops
and field names.
