Description
When retrieving CF_HTML from the clipboard, the retrieved data includes extra context information if the HTML is a fragment.
Notepad++ pastes this entire context verbatim.
It would be useful if StartFragment and EndFragment were used to extract just the HTML that was placed on the clipboard.
Attached is a simple HTML file that will place an HTML fragment on the clipboard.
