Yeah, ecore_cocoa does a bit of weird things, ecore_cocoa uses the function evas_textblock_text_markup_to_utf8. It should not.

In general: A type like MARKUP should stop at the level of elm, or ecore_evas ... but should never be used in ecore_cocoa.

I agree that it probably should not, but this is how the code is written.

An alternative here I suppose would be to make the code for that function a standalone in a static library?

Or just quick and dirty dlsym'ing evas_textblock_text_markup_to_utf8 ?

Its not nice, but a solution...

No, that's definitely not a viable solution for us.

I don't know if this will help, but ecore_cocoa_clipboard_set() (that calls evas_textblock_text_markup_to_utf8) is beta API (the whole cocoa clipboard API is). It was (badly) designed to be used by Elementary only. Maybe the caller of this function can run the evas_textblock_text_markup_to_utf8() first, and pass its output as the data parameter?

@jayji that is very good news. :)

For now fixed in the meson ( devs/bu5hm4n/meson) fixed with D6865. works.

@zmike you can enable it on travis i guess.
