Certain programs allow formatted content to be copied and/or pasted into them. For example, you can copy bold text from an HTML page and paste it into most word processors and retain the bold formatting.

Parsing template files with specific extensions would allow for formatted text. For example, .txt files would insert the text directly, while .md files would be parsed and formatted as markdown before inserting, or .bbc files would be parsed through BBCode, and complex .html files could be interpreted through something like selenium to render the formatted text (including tables and positioning) before inserting.

This issue is one of the more pressing ones regarding the templates. I ran into a usage example of this at work a few days ago where we needed to paste formatted text, so my program was insufficient. @robtoyota do you have any ideas how we could go about storing the formatted text? We might need to implement additional textblock file types as .txt wouldn't be able to store it.
