If the Window's clipboard contains text style data, then this option is enabled to insert the text in a literal format into the current multi-line edit control. If an area of text has been selected in the edit control, then the selected text will be replaced by the formatted text from the clipboard, otherwise the text literal is inserted at the cursor position. By converting the clipboards text into a literal format that is enclosed by double-quotes, broken into segments of no more than 255 characters, with special characters replaced by the appropriate escape sequence, ESL can copy the pasted template text into a string variable. This facility makes coding SOAP messages, SQL Statements and other such templates, simpler and more reliable.
