Here's one on Linux:

address@hidden ~]$ xclip -o -t TARGETS
TIMESTAMP
TARGETS
MULTIPLE
text/html
text/_moz_htmlcontext
text/_moz_htmlinfo
UTF8_STRING
COMPOUND_TEXT
TEXT
STRING
text/x-moz-url-priv
address@hidden ~]$ xclip -o -t text/html
<div class="entry-meta">
                                                <span class="meta-prep 
meta-prep-author">BY</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" 
href="http://www.tcj.com/author/josselin-moneyron/"; title="View all posts by 
Josselin Moneyron">Josselin Moneyron</a></span> <span class="entry-date">Oct 
27, 2016</span>    </div>
