Hi, I am trying to use a simple script of the form

Code:
f12::
{
clipboard= <html>
Send ^v
}


to paste some html I use repetitively. The problem is that the symbols in the html (equal signs, quotes, etc) are 'mistaken' by ahk for code rather than raw text.

How can I get it to put this kind of stuff in the clipboard without freaking out?
Thanks!

Give an example of when it freaks out. Paste some example code. It shouldn't do that and I have never seen it do anything like that. Also there are better ways to do the paste. Maybe a function would be better:
Code:
F12 := Paste("<html>")

Paste(Text) {
ClipboardBack := Clipboard
ClipBoard =
Clipboard := Text
ClipWait, 1
Send, ^v
Clipboard := ClipboardBack
Return
}

Well, it thinks that the symbols in the html are part of the code. I just tested it with some source code from here and the error says that there is a missing ')' even though one is there.

I tried using your code as well, like this:

Code:
f12 := Paste("<link rel="prev" href="viewtopic.php?t=43831&amp;view=previous" title="View previous topic" /><link rel="next" href="viewtopic.php?t=43831&amp;view=next" title="View next topic" /><link rel="up" href="vi")

Paste(Text) {
ClipboardBack := Clipboard
ClipBoard =
Clipboard := Text
ClipWait, 1
Send, ^v
Clipboard := ClipboardBack
Return
}

You just have to put two double quotes to make one literal quote:
Code:
Msgbox % "This is a ""Test"""

Displays: This is a "Test"

Why not use SendRaw instad of send?

sendraw doesn't help for a variable assignment like

Code:
clipboard := "this is some text that has quotation marks and stuff in it"
send, ^v


That's why Frankie's approach is the way to go.
