[TYPO3-RTE] Cleaning pasted content

[ben van 't ende [netcreators]]

Hi Stanislas,

It would be cool if the documentation is refreshed. This is essential
for working with rtehtmlarea. After the upgrade rtehtmlarea seems to act
differently then before and I have to figure out what is changed with
the new version. For instance I can't use bold and italic anymore. The
tags are stripped. I don't know why that happens now.
