Is it an AIR app or browser? What 1. Where are you pasting it into? If you're pasting into another location in the same document then I would override and update the export method to include your custom styles. How are the styles complex? They should be inherited or if it's actual styles and classes it may be a bug if they aren't being included.
2. You can set different formats<http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/desktop/Clipboard.html>to the clipboard. It might be a roundable way of keeping the format of converting by exporting to HTML on copy and importing the HTML on paste. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a undocumented TLF_Format type. 3. See 2. Can you paste the actual TLF markup and the TLF markup that is copied to the clipboard for comparison? On Sun, Nov 3, 2013 at 3:01 PM, Gavriel Harbater <gavha...@gmail.com> wrote: > Okay.
