how to format text for copy-pasting as a spreadsheet table

[Brian Milby]

See my code here:
https://github.com/bwmilby/lc-misc/blob/master/ClipboardHelper/clipboardhelper.livecodescript

"updateClipboardHtmlText" will take the HTMLText on the clipboard (which
gives the extra lines)
and replace the tags so it doesn't do that. I'm not sure if this will do
what you want though...
I've tried once before and the tabs don't get picked up this way in a
spreadsheet. It will get
rid of the extra lines, but probably place each line in a single cell.
