To insert formatted text you need to parse the text first in order to
get a "parse tree", then you can use the "insert_parsetree_at_cursor"
method. You can get a parsetree for a page with "get_parsetree" or use
the parser for the specific format (default wiki format most likely).
To parse a piece of text and insert it in the current page the plugin
would need to do the following ("self" being the plugin object and
"text" the snippet):
>>>>>
import zim.formats
format = zim.formats.get_format('wiki')
parser = format.Parser()
parsetree = parser.parse(text)
buffer = self.ui.mainwindow.pageview.view.get_buffer()
buffer.insert_parsetree_at_cursor(parsetree)

Hope this helps,
