Okay. After researching this, it looks like the problem is as follows: The TextFlow is saved to the clipboard as a string which is the markup representation of the TextFlow. The markup is produced using BaseTextLayoutExporter.export(). The markup produced from that is missing custom user styles. My custom user styles are actually quite complex classes.
I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to handle this problem. I can think of three possible angles: 1) Somehow write user styles into the TextFlow markup. I'm not sure if there's a way to markup custom styles and complex ones are definitely an issue. 2) Write complex objects to the clipboard. Is this possible? If yes, why are strings currently used? 3) Skip the clipboard altogether and create some static function to call when the clipboard content is pasted to apply custom styles. Thoughts?
