Both functions are handy, but I am undecided about HtmlToText.

Also, I was feeling a little bit uneasy about possiblity of <HTML> string (or that marker comment) being inside html, so I have slightly changed the function to:

void WriteClipboardHTML(const String& html)
{
	String data;
	
	data =
		"Version:0.9\n"
		"StartHTML:#000001#\n"
		"EndHTML:#000002#\n"
		"StartFragment:#000003#\n"
		"EndFragment:#000004#\n"
		"StartSelection:#000003#\n"
		"EndSelection:#000004#\n"
		"<HTML>\n"
		"<!--StartFragment -->"
	    "<!--EndFragment -->\n"
		"</HTML>\n"
	;
	
	data.Replace("#000001#", Sprintf("%08u", data.Find("<HTML>") + 6));
	int start = data.Find("<!--StartFragment -->") + 21;
	data.Replace("#000003#", Sprintf("%08u", start));
	data.Replace("#000004#", Sprintf("%08u", data.Find("<!--EndFragment -->") + html.GetCount()));
	data.Replace("#000002#", Sprintf("%08u", data.Find("</HTML>") + html.GetCount()));
	
	data.Insert(start, html);
	
	WriteClipboard("HTML Format", data);
}

In this form, I am adding this to CtrlCore.

P.S.: On what platform(s) is this tested? Linux / Win32 / MacOS ?

This is the Win32 version.

trying to test it on linux and with a bit of investigation, i found that
the Linux version is as easy as

void WriteClipboardHTML(const String& html)
{
	WriteClipboard("text/html", html);
}

(tested on Ubuntu/ Gnome)

I dont have a MacOS machine, then i have not tested it.

Well, maybe that one would work in win32 too? Smile
