My turn on MS Bashing

I usually tend to point out the method in the madness, but this one takes the "stupid by design" label: CF_HTML Example[^]

Version:0.9
StartHTML:71
EndHTML:170
StartFragment:140
EndFragment:160
StartSelection:140
EndSelection:160
<!DOCTYPE>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>The HTML Clipboard</TITLE>
<BASE HREF="http://sample/specs">
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<P>The Fragment</P>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Yes, the offsets are "Byte count since the start of the clipboard". Which includes the text representation of the byte counts... A KB article shows that you can use leading zeroes, otherwise you'd have to iterate until you got it right. Still, a format purely designed by a "we sould make it simple" receiver. Never mind the caller.

Agh! Reality! My Archnemesis![^]
