Discovered by trying to paste a ChatGPT response including a list of items into a pad.
echo '<li>this crashes</li>' | xclip -selection clipboard -t text/html
@Gared Do you use Ubuntu by chance? I used Windows and just copy pasted the W3C example to my pad and it didn't do anything https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_lists_intro
:) That example works for me too.
Try this: https://archive.totalism.org/breaks_etherpad.html
I think w3c one works because there's an ul around, which is technically mandatory. When copying from there , even if you just take a single item, Firefox makes another copy buffer:
in addition to text/html
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><li>Tea</li>
also text/_moz_htmlcontext
<html><body contenteditable="false"><ul></ul></body></html>
Not sure how it all works there ... but in any case, it breaks on my example, and also copying from ChatGPT, if you don't also capture the before-beginning of the list, which includes the ul .
That works unfortunately too on my instance https://pad.samtv.fyi/p/test
Weird! For me, on that instance, with Chromium:

The pad is still intact or did I misread the pad crash?
Sorry, missed the question there, yes, on refresh, the pad is as was before the paste.
