Macro Recorder too smart

[Schorschi]

Hi there,

I am trying to generate a macro to insert a basic HTML file (ie. with < html > < head >...< /head >< /html >) into a file.

I start the macro recorder and paste the code from the clipboard into Textpad, name, label and save the macro.

However, the macro's definiton now seems to be defined as "insert clipboard contents" and not "insert < html >...< /html >".

What do I have to do to make the macro recorder insert the pasted text and not the clipboard contents ?

I'd say just start the recorder, press Ctrl-Home (to move cursor to the beginning), and manually type in the tags. Then press Ctrl-End (to move the cursor to the end), and do the same with the closing tags.

I'd use the clip library for such a purpose.
