Preserving/displaying HTML formatting
Apologies if this is not where I should ask about this, or if the issue is I just do not know how to use the app. My problem is that I want the HTML formatting to be preserved when I save using the ClipTo context menu option. By that, I mean I want it to look the same as when I copy text in a browser window and paste it into a new email message in Gmail (i.e., the pasted block looks identical to what I am seeing in the web browser). I thought this could be done by using the ClipTo option from the context menu after making a selection in the mobile browser, and then selecting "HTML" as the text type when I view the note created in the ClipTo Android app. However, the only change in appearance seems to be font-related. All of the other webpage content (icons, images, table formatting, background shading,etc.) Does not show.
Is this something ClipTo cannot do? Or does it have the capability and some other issue is why I cannot see it? I have gone through all of the settings in the app and looked at every clipboard setting I can find in Gboard and in the Android settings, but have not seen anything that would help.
I am using a Google Pixel 3 XL, with the latest version of Android 10, and the latest version of ClipTo.

Hi! I need to check the possibility to implement such behaviour on Android. On Desktop it is possible to achieve (in general, not in the latest app version:) But on Android it should be checked first.
That would be great. Expanding the clipping capabilities on Android is a potential killer feature.
Hi! Yes. Technically it is possible on Desktop and partially possible on Android. So it can be implemented across platforms.
