Keep line breaks upon WinClip.SetHTML

[techmon]

Hi,

I'm using WinClip https://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/74670-class-winclip-direct-clipboard-manipulations/ to format some text (change font color to blue) from the Clipboard upon pressing Ctrl + j. The text in the Clipboard has line breaks.

but when I use this code, it pastes without line breaks.

Code: Select all

#Include WinClipAPI.ahk
#Include WinClip.ahk
wc := new WinClip

^j::
html:="<font color='blue'>" . Clipboard . "</font></div>"
WinClip.SetHTML(html)
WinClip.Paste()
Return

[Mod edit: [code][/code] tags added.]

How can I make it keep the line breaks?

SetHTML puts data onto the clipboard in HTML format. What is on your clipboard?

StrReplace() + https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_br.asp

Thanks Mikey,

I think it's usually html format that is on my clipboard.

StrReplace() + https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_br.asp

Also, thanks Xtra for your suggestion. I don't think I'm fully understanding though. Can you elaborate on that?

You want to StrReplace() the linebreaks `n or `r`n with <br>
Example:

Code: Select all

Clipboard := StrReplace(Clipboard, "`n", "<br>")

Thanks so much Xtra, that did the trick!
