OK, please suggest how I might accomplish a Leopard fix for this script adapted from a script by julifos, which worked quite well (at least to some extent) through Tiger, for example:
on monostyle(theText) set the clipboard to (theText as international text) set ss to (the clipboard as record) scrap styles of ss end monostyle monostyle("some text")
Or, to elaborate a bit further, where you're currently doing this:
set clipContents to (the clipboard) as styled text
copy StyledTextToRecord(clipContents) to styleInfo
to StyledTextToRecord(clipContents)
set clipContents to clipContents as record
copy «class ktxt» of clipContents to ktxt
copy xToString(«class ksty» of clipContents) to ksty
...do something more like this:
copy StyledClipboardToRecord() to styleInfo to StyledTextToRecord()
copy (the clipboard as string) to ktxt
copy (the clipboard as scrap styles) to ksty
The basic point is that you can treat the clipboard contents themselves as a record (either by fetching the entire record as Mr. Aker does, or by fetching specific pieces like I do), instead of relying on AppleScript to preserve the style data when you get "text" from the clipboard. This technique should work equally well on older systems.
Alternatively, figure out how to paste the text into TextEdit and save it as HTML, since it can do that these days.
