Clipboard link pastes into WYSIWYG as code/text instead of link

Question

I have this in a Tampermonkey script:

var journey_link = "<a href='http://www.google.co.uk'>Google</a>";
//...
GM_setClipboard (journey_link);

But when I paste into a WYSIWYG editor, the contents appear as code.

Is it possible to display as the intended hyperlink? Or is this a limitation of WYSIWYG?

Thanks

Answer 1

As wOxxOm said, set GM_setClipboard's info parameter to 'html':

GM_setClipboard (journey_link, 'html');

This will cause most WYSIWYG editors to treat it as a link, rather than text.

Reference: The Tampermonkey doc for GM_setClipboard.

Note that only Tampermonkey and Violentmonkey currently support this. Greasemonkey does not.
