Here is another clipboard transform that I use. It translates plain text to HTML markup for special characters, and is enhanced for PerlMonks with [ and ] handling (there, I just used it). I call it "clipmonk.cmd", and I bind it to Ctrl-Shift-M.
Update: Added
L~R,
()}{ and
s_t translation
@rem = '--*-Perl-*--
@echo off
perl -x -S "%~dpnx0" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
goto endofperl
@rem ';
#!perl
#line 8
use strict;
use warnings;
use HTML::Entities;
use Win32::Clipboard;
my $CLIP = Win32::Clipboard();
my $text = $CLIP->GetText;
$text = encode_entities($text);
$text =~ s|\[|\[|g;
$text =~ s|\]|\]|g;
$text =~ s/L~R/[Limbic~Region|L~R]/g;
$text =~ s/\(\)}{/[(-+-)bsidian }{eat|()}{]/g;
$text =~ s/s_t/[submersible_toaster|s_t]/g;
$CLIP->Set($text);
