Feature request: possibility to paste into web WYSIWYG editors #32
Comments
|
The RTF output format adds a Rich Text MIME type to the clipboard format. Possibly the Visual Studio Online editor supports RTF. But I will also test the HTML MIME type. Which online highlighter was used for pasting working code? |
|
I have tested it with the RTF output format but then it doesn't paste anything into the WYSIWYG editor.
Regarding the online highlighter - probably any one, I have tested for example hilite.me. |
|
The next release will contain an option to add HTML MIME type. This works when pasting code into a word processor like LibreOffice. |
|
Done in v3.41. The new checkbox is located in HTML options -> Misc. Please reopen if it does not work for you. |
|
Thank you Andre. It's working properly with MSIE now, I can paste a highlighted code with proper colors and background but it's not working with Vivaldi browser (it's based on Chrome), unfortunately. I'm not sure, what might be wrong here, it's not pasting anything. Tested with the version 3.42. |
|
I have tested this with HTML and several browsers. As there is no universal RichEdit web control each web application and browser may support different kinds of markup. Some will support HTML with inline CSS, without header and footer (ie html, head, title, body tags). Another option to play with is to toggle the enclosing I think the MIME type is not relevant for browsers, this is being accepted by "old school" editors for RTF. |
|
Maybe Highlight's output HTML block could be copied to the clipboard as plain-text, which should pass any MIME-filtering, and then let the destination app backend to its filtering job (ie: remove unallowed tags, scripts, etc.)? Either the destination app filters the submitted HTML contents or it would leave them as they are. |
|
HTML as plain text is the default, the MIME option was added as "experiment". Only RTF is copied with a fix MIME type as there is no need for plain RTF. |

Sometimes, I need to paste a formatted source code in a browser (usually some WYSIWYG editor, for example on visualstudio.com). But when I copy the code as an HTML using Copy preview to clipboard in Highlight and paste it in the browser, it pastes the HTML source code instead of the formatted text. That's not so surprising. But it wold be good to have such possibility.
I would say that it should be enough to just add one more format when copying into the clipboard - HTML Format.
Currently, Highlight copies the following clipboard formats on Windows:
When I copy the formatted source code from some online code highlighter, I can paste it into a web WYSIWYG editor without any issues. The clipboard contains the following formats:
The Win API format ID for HTML Format is 49521.
Thank you.
