Description David Malcolm 2003-12-20 14:31:35 UTC
Currently the clipboard and PRIMARY handling asks for and gives "text" as
its format, but the actual content is XML source.

The code should intelligently handle some of the different formats that are
out there.

Text should come through with escaping as necessary.

Comment 2 David Malcolm 2004-01-03 10:46:27 UTC
I've committed a fix to CVS for this.  The code now offers and
retrieve data to/from the selection as both text (escaping as
necessary) and as XML.
