On this editor if I input a quadratic formula ax² + bx + c =0, while I click Copy button, paste to here, it will become the following MathML code:
<math style="font-family:'Times New Roman'" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mi>a</mi><msup><mi>x</mi><mn>2</mn></msup><mo>+</mo><mi>b</mi><mi>x</mi><mo>+</mo><mi>c</mi><mo>=</mo><mn>0</mn></math>

Use Tools > "Import MathML from Clipboard" in the formula editor. In a Writer document e.g. you need to first use Insert Formula and then "Import MathML from Clipboard". You can combine the commands using a macro, for the cases you are sure that the clipboard contains valid MathML.

The command "Import MathML from Clipboard" detects MathML in cases too, were it is MathML in content but is not marked as MathML by the source application.
 
I think it would be too expensive to do the tests, whether it is valid MathML, on each clipboard content, to show MathML as item in the list of clipboard contents.

OK. Thanks.
