We can't change the tags for 'htmlText' - i.e. LiveCode's html-like 
styled text representation as many people process it by looking for 'p' 
tags. However, we could add a 'real' HTML converter for the clipboard 
which could use 'div'.

I wonder if the space issue is solved by using an xml:space="preserve" 
attribute?

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
