I know how to copy plain text to the clipboard: oascript -e 'set the clipboard to "plain text"' But the question is how can I copy html contents to the clipboard? For example, how can I copy the following html content to the clipboard: <b>bold text</b> so that I get bold text when I paste it in TextEdit? Thanks for the help in advance! I found an intermediate solution for this: echo "<b>bold text</b>" | textutil -stdin -stdout -format html -convert rtf | pbcopy This works, so far so good, but unfortunately I found that it doesn't work for an image tag: echo "<img src=\"https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png\">" | textutil -stdin -stdout -format html -convert rtf | pbcopy This does not do the job I want, so anybody knows the reason? Thanks! I've found a working solution and posted it below :)
