[jira] [Commented] (GUACAMOLE-420) HTML Support on Guacamole clipboard

["Michael Jumper (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-420?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16208911#comment-16208911 ] 

Michael Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-420:
------------------------------------------

The Guacamole protocol inherently supports arbitrary formats (including HTML). In general, the server-side portion of this is incredibly simple. It's the client side where the complexity lies, mainly in working around the way each browser has an entirely different way of translating text into HTML (are newlines represented with {{<br>}}? implied with {{<div>}}? what about {{<p>}}?) and not breaking handling of normal text.

See GUACAMOLE-55 for the work-in-progress simpler case of just adding support for images, and:

* GUACAMOLE-82
* GUACAMOLE-128
* GUACAMOLE-310

for issues/regressions which resulted from that initial attempt, resulting in GUACAMOLE-55 being almost entirely reverted.

> Guacamole server implements clipboard for "UTF-16" and "CP1252"
> formats.
> These clipboard formats doesn't allow to copy/paste formatted content (HTML
> Format does). 
> NB : FreeRDP also provide functionnalities for images and HTML copy.
