Specifically, I have blocks of code for install that I want the user to be able to quickly copy and paste into a terminal. I'd like a button to 'copy to clipboard' for the code block. Since there's a 'copy to clipboard' button for the git clone URLs, I was wondering if I could piggy back off that or if not whether there was some relatively simple I could add to the MD to make this happen. Or is this simply not possible with the processing and 'safication' the MD text goes through?
Copy an image. Hit ctrl+alt+v to paste image to markdown document.
The basic Markdown syntax allows you to create code blocks by indenting lines by four spaces or one tab. If you find that inconvenient, try using fenced code blocks. Depending on your Markdown processor or editor, you'll use three backticks ( ``` ) or three tildes ( ~~~ ) on the lines before and after the code block.

We just added a "Copy" button to all code blocks on GitHub.
