Support for HTML on the clipboard?
-
I’m trying to place custom HTML on the Pasteboard, for use as a signature in the Mail app among other things.
(The signature uses a CSS background image with Retina 2x versions and other tricks which are lost if I just select and copy it out of another app’s UIWebView.)
It appears that the built-in clipboard support in Pythonista is limited to text and images. Is there a way to extend this to the HTML data type using Python? If not, this is a feature request. :-)
I think this explains what I’m trying to do:

Currently not possible, sorry. I have some plans to extend the clipboard module with custom data types though, so perhaps it will be in the future...

Would love to work with HTML as well. I would like to Copy HTML from safari or another browser and then manipulate it. Right now I am using an old program "HTML Mail editor". It is the only one available to capture and paste HTML as HTML. I am saving HTML to dropbox, then trying to strip it and convert to Markdown. My upvote for this f.r. Thanks for your work.
