Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Copy RTF data from selection. Useful for pasting text over to MS Word (or something similar).
Copy HTML data from selection.

Proposed technical implementation details

So, looking at Clipboard.cpp under ConHost's InteractivityWin32 project, should cover most of what is done. We're just slightly different in that we're using the UWP Clipboard API but that should actually make a lot of it much easier.

The data should already be saved in data in Terminal::RetrieveSelectedTextFromBuffer(bool). We just need to actually save it properly.

I just came here to note that HTML copy is useful for "modern" apps like the inbox Mail and OneNote apps that support pasting HTML but not RTF.

HTML and RTF would be invaluable to quickly producing examples, my current workflow involves pasting it into a text editor and using syntax highlighting and extensions to copy it back out again.

Splitting off RTF copy to another issue. This issue now just focuses on HTML Copy and can now be closed.
