How do I paste html into a textbox?

Question

I want a user to highlight a part of a web page and paste it into a textbox on my site. But I want the formatting from the original site to be preserved somehow. So I want to copy more than just text. Gmail seems to be able to do this when composing an email.

I don't know where to begin with this problem. Any thoughts?

This has nothing to do with Perl. All client-side, HTML and probably custom Windows browser abilities. — DVK, Mar 30 '13 at 13:43

If you have windows7 use the snipping tool and cut it from the screen as a .jpg.

Then use simple html

<img src="sth.jpg" alt="sth" height="" width="">
