<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body> 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>Le Lorem Ipsum est simplement du faux texte employé dans la composition et la mise en page avant impression. Le Lorem Ipsum " 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 <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Le 26/03/2023 à 19:33, Andrew Pitonyak a écrit : </div> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:3adb34-64208200-3-1bd59ce0@154407935"> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> I have no idea if this will be of any use to you or not, but... I do not generally use the API using Python so I cannot comment on using Python. I have also not used headless mode so I cannot comment on what is and is not available other than knowing that dispatches are not available. Finally, I have done almost nothing using the clipboard, but... First note that the clipboard should have content of different varieties. I assume that you are aware of this because you have a line as follows: copy_with_format(value, 'text/html') And if I look at the clipboard I see this as an available type Dim sClipName As String Dim oClip As Object Dim oFlavors As Variant Dim oFlavor As Variant Dim i as Integer Dim s as String sClipName = "com.sun.star.datatransfer.clipboard.SystemClipboard" oClip = createUnoService(sClipName) oFlavors = oClip.getContents().getTransferDataFlavors() s = "" For i = LBound(oFlavors) To UBound(oFlavors) oFlavor = oFlavors(i) s = s & i & " : " & oFlavor.MimeType s = s & CHR$(10) Next MsgBox s I see that method defined in this code here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/Probesys/lotemplate/blob/html_formatting/lotemplate/utils.py">https://github.com/Probesys/lotemplate/blob/html_formatting/lotemplate/utils.py</a> I see that you open a pipe. I did some experiments and I am extracting the actual HTML. I assume that this is not really what you want, but this is how I extract it and display it. I was simply playing around with it out of curiousity. Dim sClipName As String Dim oClip As Object Dim oFlavors As Variant Dim oFlavor As Variant Dim i as Integer Dim idx as Integer Dim s as String sClipName = "com.sun.star.datatransfer.clipboard.SystemClipboard" oClip = createUnoService(sClipName) oFlavors = oClip.getContents().getTransferDataFlavors() s = "" idx = -1 For i = LBound(oFlavors) To UBound(oFlavors) oFlavor = oFlavors(i) s = s & i & " : " & oFlavor.MimeType If oFlavor.MimeType = "text/html" Then idx = i End If s = s & CHR$(10) Next 'MsgBox s If idx < 0 Then Print "text/html mime type not found" Exit Sub End If ' Now print the actual HMTL as a string! Dim oData As Variant oData = oClip.getContents().getTransferData(oFlavors(idx)) s = "" For i = LBound(oData) To UBound(oData) s = s & CHR$(oData(i)) Next MsgBox s If I kept going, then I would attempt to then use the transferable content directly, which is obtained from oClip.getContents() I believe. But, one of the real questions is.... Does the clipboard have the contents shown in the correct format? I assume it does. So, perhaps this helps a little anyway.
