How to Copy to Clipboard in JavaScript and make it HTML?

Question

I found some nice solutions here on how to copy text in JavaScript to the clipboard in: How do I copy to the clipboard in JavaScript?

But is there any way to give it a type? Want I want is to paste to clipboard something like:

this is < b >bold< /b >

and when pasting it into OpenOffice or Word, get

this is bold

are you copying "rendered HTML"? or "some plain text of HTML code"? — scunliffe, Feb 21 '11 at 15:45

You could just manipulate the string the user selects before sending it to the clipboard. Refer the answer for this question which shows how a string manipulation could be done before copying it to the clipboard.
