I think you would really need to try it.  As I said yesterday,
I find the clip library really very useful; its simple to use
and easy to create/extend.

Here is a short piece of clip library from a HTML clip lib:

#T=Bold
<b>^!</b>
#T=Italic
<i>^!</i>
#T=Underline text
<span class="underline">^!</span>
#T=Superscript (end note)
<sup>^!</sup>
#T=Code fragment
<code>^!</code>
#T=Highligt text - yellow
<span class="highlight">^!</span>
#T=Centre text
<div align="center">
^!
</div>

Only the text on the line after the "T#" appears in the clip lib side panel.
Double click on the text label and EditPlus inserts the clip text into the
document being edited.  The "^!" is where the cursor sits after the clip
insertion.  Clips can be inserted "around" existing text.

Very neat; if you use Windows its really worth a try.

Regards,
Peter
