I had copied some html into the clipboard (from the browser) which contained <a href="xyz">abc</a> and then in my LA function did print.it(clipboard.Html()); - expecting it would give me the "raw" html code - but I got the same result as with clipboard.Text(); - am I understanding it wrong or could there be a bug?

Example. In Chrome select some text or link. Run this script.
print.it(clipboardData.getHtml());
It prints
<html>
<body>
<!--StartFragment--><strong style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><a href="https://www.libreautomate.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=19" style="color: rgb(0, 114, 188); text-decoration: none;">Help (LA)</a></strong><!--EndFragment-->
</body>
</html>
It is correct.

Oh right - I found my fault: I had queried clipboard.text before that - and that "transformed" the content and removed the html. (I had not expected looking at the property would change the clipboard) After moving that line I'm seeing the expected result.

clipboard.text does not change the clipboard data.
print.it(clipboard.text);
print.it("-------");
print.it(clipboardData.getHtml());

you're right - I got lost in my own code. I had overwritten it myself and did not notice - sorry for spreading invalid statements!
