Add "Copy" button to the code snippets in docs.

[rushabhTt]

Dear Django Team,

I'd like to suggest an enhancement for your website. Adding a "copy" button to the code blocks could significantly improve user experience. This feature would allow users to easily copy code snippets, saving them from manually selecting and copying, especially for larger blocks.

A small icon in the top right corner of each code block could serve as this "copy" button. Upon clicking, it would copy the entire block of code to the user's clipboard.

This feature is common on many programming and documentation websites and could be a valuable addition to yours.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Best,
hehe

Just a note that I saw a PR for this ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/16342/

[David Sanders]

Possible duplicate of #18721 though that ticket contained 3 separate feature requests.

I'd vote +1 on this, though we may need a forum post to review the options. The plugin suggested in the above PR seems nice because it handles pycon snippets removing prompts & output.

[Sarah Boyce]

I would also +1. I think the request is reasonable and can see how this would be a nice experience when going through the tutorials

Copy button is already there for file-specific snippets:

Sounds good, if there is a reasonable Sphinx plugin.

#18721 was a multi-task ticket so I'd leave it closed.

I have created a Pull Request for this ticket.

Pull Request : ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/17292

I referenced the pull request ( ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/16342/ ) mentioned above in the discussion.

I tested it and found that it was only working for text which was starting with "$ " and not covering text starting with "...\>".

So, I used the regex to resolve the issue and made the copy functionality available for both Linux/MacOS Option and Windows Option

Yeah look I think we should give the original author a chance here instead of just taking over what they did... I mean they're probably patiently waiting for someone to review it. They haven't actually said that they can't continue.

Investigation is required as to whether this shouldn't be solved in ​djangoproject.com as is the current approach
