如何以格式化文本从 html 文件复制到 Python 中的剪贴板？

Question

I'm writting a Word document and I'd like to paste a formatted code-snippets directly from clipboard.

At this moment I am able to write these snippets into an .html file to the harddisk. My goal is to extend my Python script and load this .html file on the clipboard in "formatted text" to directly paste at Word.

Does anyone knows any way to do this in Python?

Thanks in advance.

It's work pretty well... if anyone wants more information about the clipboard just take a look here:

Answer 2

Nobody mentioned yet klembord . It works on Linux and Windows, and supports HTML clipboard format .

Installation

pip install klembord

Usage

import klembord
klembord.init()

# Case 1
klembord.set_with_rich_text('', 'Normal text, <i>Italic text</i>, <b>Bold text</b>, Normal text')

# Case 2
klembord.set_with_rich_text('', 'This is a <a href="https://github.com/OzymandiasTheGreat/klembord">link</a>')

Short explanation

The set_with_rich_text takes two arguments. The first argument is the plain text alternative, which is used if you paste the content somewhere that does not support rich text formatting (such as Notepad). The second argument is the html formatted clipboard, which supports for example <a> , <i> and <b> HTML tags.

Example output

When pasted to a rich text editor, the output from the example above would look like this:
