Looks good to me.

Results of my tests on Linux Mint 14 and Chrome browser

1. Copy main image from this news story http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-21071378 and paste into document. Find that extra left single quote is inserted after the pasted image.

2. Image can be successfully copied from document into libre office document.

3. Copy/paste in view-source mode operates the same as in normal mode. I guess this makes sense.

4. The text produced by typing: `hello' when copied to a text document converts the left single quote to the right unicode character but converts the right single quote to an ascii apostrophe.

5. This snippet:
<section|H<em|e>llo>

there

when copied would not paste into libre office, or sometimes will only paste the last word "there". It would paste into a gedit text document without formatting (naturally).


6. And of course pasting a ` into the document displays as a left single quote but copies out again as a left single quote. I think ` should paste as a grave accent but I've mentioned this before elsewhere and I don't think it relates to your work.

Hi,

I just pushed on the svn trunk a commit affecting the behavior of
the 'default" copy/paste. Until now, it was merged with the "to/from
texmacs" copy/paste behaviour.

From now, it is supposed to automatically handle different contents,
based on mime data (texmacs, html, or verbatim).

The old behaviour is still accessible via the "to/from texmacs"
copy/paste facility.

Don't hesitates to complain and to report bugs if you encounter a weird
behaviour.

Best regards.
François

PS: I made tests under GNU/Linux, MacOS and Windows. It works pretty
well on GNU/Linux and Windows, but the Qt clipboards support seems to be
incomplete under Qt. Specific code may be necessary on the Qt platform
to access to all "flavors" of the clipboard buffer, and to perfectly
decode it.
