How do I paste HTML to the clipboard so that it is recognized as HTML in applications such as Open Office and MS Word? It is possible when using gtkhtml or gecko if you've already rendered it, but I need a straight GTK+ solution.
You call gtk_clipboard_set_with_data or gtk_clipboard_set_with_owner, passing a GtkTargetEntry with "text/html" as the value for the target field.
It's good practice to also provide "UTF8_STRING" and "STRING" targets for applications that don't support HTML.
Here's an example of some code that does this: GEdit HTML clipboard plugin.

I'm looking for possibility to export or just copy the whole code of a HTML element, targeted with Developer Tools. With whole code I mean not only HTML (this option is good visible in context menu), but corresponding CSS and JS code too.
I found a Chrome extension, which claims to copy HTML and CSS, but it isn't reliable in its core function and doesn't copy JS at all.
Has anyone experimented with allowing users to upload a word file (.doc, or .docx), and use TinyMCE to do the Word => HTML conversion? (And ultimately place the converted HTML in the editor) I'd like to use TinyMCE for this conversion because it is so good at translating Word formatting to HTML.
From what I've read, the difficulty with this seems to be that by default TinyMCE handles System Clipboard => HTML very well, but not raw .doc(x) => HTML. I haven't yet found any utilities for the .doc(x) => System Clipboard operation. I'd love to hear about solutions out there!
This seems to be the most similar question, but it does not seems to have found an answer: Transfer Word Document Contents to Web Environment on Server Side Using C# ASP.NET
This question was previously posted to the TinyMCE HowTo Forum with no responses. Here's hoping that someone out there has encountered (and solved) this issue.
The question: Is there some way to enable correct copy/paste of formatted text from a Lotus Notes email directly into TinyMCE?
The scenario: A rolling comments system on a web site, into which users occasionally need to paste rich text from an email viewed in Lotus Notes.
The details:
I have tried copying some formatted text from emails viewed in Lotus Notes (7.0.4, Windows XP) and pasting it into the "Full featured example" implementation of TinyMCE at http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/examples/full.php and found that it generally fails to maintain the formatting. In fact, of the browsers I tested, IE6 fared the best, and the more modern W3C standards compliant browsers were the worst.
Some text formatting I tested was:
larger text
underline
italics
bold
numbered list
bullet list
indented text
permanent pen
font family: arial
font family: times new roman
Results:
-Firefox (3.6.8), Vista or XP: all formatting lost
-Chrome (5.0.375.125), Vista or XP: all formatting lost, including line breaks
-IE6 (XP): some formatting is maintained (fails to copy numbers and bullets for lists, but indents lists properly)
-IETester (IE6) Vista: some formatting is maintained (fails to format lists at all, and the underline tag is not closed)
-IE7 (XP): some formatting is maintained (fails to format lists at all, and the underline tag is not closed)
-IE8 (Vista): some formatting is maintained (fails to format lists at all, and the underline tag is not closed)
If I first paste the clipboard from Lotus Notes into MS Word 2003 (11.5604.5606) it shows perfectly in Word, and if I then copy/paste it from there into TinyMCE it generally works better enough to be usable, although still loses some formatting, even when using the "Paste from Word" button in TinyMCE. Not surprisingly, if I open my Lotus Notes mail in a web mail client, the HTML mail copies and pastes perfectly into TinyMCE.
Since it shows perfectly in my Domino web client, and pastes perfectly into MS Word, it is obviously possible to copy/paste Lotus Notes formatting.
If anyone has had success with this please mention your Notes and browser versions, and any modifications you had to make to the TinyMCE config.
If you check what's pasted from Word, you'll find that it's pretty much what you'd get if you had done a File->Save As->Web Page in Word: a whole bunch of Word-specific HTML attributes and CSS. Essentially, it's Word's ability to be coerced into exporting HTML that does the trick; Word's rich text alone won't do the job. The Notes clipboard (which is different from the system clipboard) can export RTF to the system clipboard, which then pastes (with limitations) to Word (which can interpret RTF), but a JavaScript widget in the browser doesn't understand RTF.
You can use the w32 api to do your formatted copy (e.g. make a special copy btn in LotusScript and call it). I have actually done this, and it works fine.
however, will TinyMCE handle the paste operation well? - that I cannot tell you.
I have logged this as a bug against TinyMCE.
Ok, then eigther you will need to deactivate the paste plugin and write a plugin of your own or you will have to configure/change the paste plugin to your needs.

Thing is, that your OS detects (at least sometimes) from which kind of context (plain text, html,...) copy-paste is done. That probably is the reason why copying it first into Word helps a bit.
How do I export a word document to media wiki markup style
I have been trying to do it by following the steps given in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:WordToWiki
but all in vain, not getting it.
Any help please.
Best way is to use Open Office
Open the Word document in Open Office Writer.
Go to File / Export.
Under File format choose MediaWiki (.txt).
Click Save (or Export).
Open the new file in a text editor and copy the contents to the clipboard.
Paste the text to a Wikipedia article.
That is copy and pasted from the document you linked to.
For Open Office 4.15 you have to add the extension Sun Wiki Publisher 1.1 with the extension manager.
If you don't want to install OpenOffice, another option is the Word2MediaWikiPlus extension.
In Microsoft Word 2016 I use the plugin "Microsoft Office Word Add-in For MediaWiki" (already suggested by Jake). https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12298
To make it work in Microsoft Word 2016 (version 16.0). I followed these instructions but replaced "15.0" in the instruction to "16.0",
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_word-mso_other/using-microsoft-office-word-add-in-for-mediawiki/449726c2-6d08-45e1-919a-4b5082ab4b5b
Microsoft has released an add-in for Microsoft Word that lets you export a doc file to MediaWiki formatting (as a .txt file). It's fairly decent.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12298
If you're going to be doing this a lot, consider installing the FCK Editor. This has a Paste From Word button.
The easiest way may be to install LibreOffice (http://libreoffice.org) and open the Word document in its Writer application, then from there do Export and save to Media Wiki txt file. The Copy-paste that text into the Media Wiki at edit mode
but there was no way for adding images automatically that won't work for libreoffice or the word plugin.
If you have only a few docs for converting to the mediawiki, it is ok.
But if there ar more the it is great deal of time and effort.
For autom. Imageupload the only working solution was the discontinued project Word2MediaWikiPlus.
If somethings has changed in the last years let it me now.
But if not there are some solutions with work without image upload
(if I found them i will add these entry here):
- on webserer projekt which generated very good wiki markup output there , i can' t remember the name.
- a commandline tool that do the conversion as input and output file
I have a problem when pasting ms word content into richtextbox.
when I copy content of word document and paste it into richtextbox which is in a windows application written in C#.
the links are shown like that ;
This is test.. Go to Google. <http://www.google.com>
Mail : Project <mailto:cbn#test.com>
The issue can also be created by loading in an saved RTF document from word.
How can I correct this, please help..
thanks in advance.
The issue here is that you're not actually copying RTF into the clipboard from Word. Well, kind of, but not the same RTF that would display just the formatted text and have a hyperlink behind it. You'd have to handle the paste event and do your own parsing and reformatting to achieve that.
Some richtextbox editors have a "Paste from Word" feature. You can paste it in a simple textbox and start re-formatting based on the rich text editor you're using.
This behavior has nothing to do with Word. In fact even though the RTF produced in the Clipboard by MS Word is slightly different from that of OpenOffice the results are identical. See screenshot below where the top two links are from MS Word and the rest from OOo 3.2.
.
It seems to be a peculiarity in the drawing of hyperlinks in the Winforms RichTextBox.
I don't see a quick workaround to change this behavior though.
