Capturing an insert event is not easy and hacked at best (see JavaScript for getting clipboard data on an insert (cross browser) ), so I think your best bet to achieve this is to attach some JS to your text area using your own method " paste text, which will pull out the clipboard and format in HTML for you.

There are many WYSIWYG editors to do this, but I really like CKEditor . You can disable all functions separately from the rich text box to give a minimalist toolbar.
