Details

Currently, the rich text we export to the system clipboard on Mac OS and Windows isn't recognized by any other applications I've tried that support rich text editing. This is a reminder note for Mike to investigate whether there's a standard/public flavor of HTML that we should be using on the clipboard, so that rich HTML text can be read by other applications.

Or we could convert to Mac styled text, perhaps.
Users don't always want rich text when pasting. Yeah, we can go through notepad (or any plain-text editor), but that's a hassle. Should there be separate menu items for "copy as plain text" and "copy as rich text"?
I don't think there's any existing standard for XP support of HTML content. In Windows, ther is an RTF (Rich Text Format), that would be nice to support, does anyone know if that format is understood by Mac or Linux?
well, it appears that no such beast exists, so i'm closing out this bug.
