How to paste or write text/html data?

[mblais]

I'm creating an action to perform some transformations on text/html clips. I want to paste the transformed HTML, or create a new clip from it.

I am able to get the original HTML data with str(input()) and then transform it, but I am not able to paste the result as text/html, nor to create a new clip of type text/html from the transformed text.

I think some apps work only with very specific text/html format or just plain text.

If you want to copy HTML format back to clipboard, you can use:

var html = str(clipboard(mimeHtml));   // or `str(input())` if the command input is text/html

// transform/edit html
// ...

copy(mimeHtml, html);

paste();  // optionally paste back right away
