paste html using API

[Zorg]

Hello

Thanks for your help but it won't really help me

it's doesn't matter the language,  I could translate in python.

The main problem is to start from a variable (a html string)

Var1="<h2>Lorem Ipsum?</h2><p>Le <strong>Lorem Ipsum</strong> est 
simplement du faux texte employé dans la composition et la mise en page 
avant impression. Le Lorem Ipsum </p>"

and you want to paste it in a odt and keep the format

If I want to use only headless mode, i must find a solution without 
using the SystemClipboard because the clipboard does not seem to be 
accessible
