I'm expecting the answer will be no, but thought I'd ask anyway!
I'm interested in using TiddlyWiki to mimic certain behaviour found in
Microsoft word. If you highlight part or all of a webpage in a
browser, copy it to your clipboard, and paste it into Word, Word will
try and retain the markup including layout and images. It does a bad
job, of course, especially if the width of your content is wider than
the word doc, but it tries.
What I'd like to do is copy in exactly that way (no view source,
sorry!), paste into a tiddler, and have TiddlyWiki render the content
as though I'd written html straight into the tiddler. If the image
links become absolute paths, I think this would be fine - I know that
pulling over images would be even harder!
Is any of this possible?
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,
as far as I know only WysiwygPlugin with FCKEditor allows to copy and
paste content and saves it as html in tiddlers.

In FireFox, you can select content, right-click and choose "View

selection source" to see the underlying HTML. Then copy/paste that
source into a tiddler (enclosed in <html>...</html>, of course).

oh... I see you want to do this with "no view source"...

Perhaps there is a Firefox extension that adds "copy source" to the
right-click menu?

Hello
Have a look at the "Auto Context" extension for Firefox. It does what
you want.
Once you have selected your zone, select the "Copy as HTML" option
rather than the "Copy as real HTML" option.

The developer's homepage is http://autocontext.extra.hu/
