addition of "copy to clipboad" button for English entry content #164

Closed ReesePlews closed 2 years ago

ReesePlews commented 2 years ago

If possible, I would like to add a "copy to clipboard" button that will copy the actual content of the English entry, as clear text, into the clipboard, which can then be pasted into the user's desired editing software. I am presently only considering how this could be used in MS-Word, thus clear text is probably (see Notes below) best.

The position of the "copy to clipboard" button is shown as 3) in this image. This would only be for the English entry.

Note 1: Some entries have math symbols. I do not believe they need to be copied as math symbols into the clear text. Perhaps areas where math symbols are present could be changed to "<>" in the clear text and would then be pasted out the same way. The user would need to change according to their editing software and out of scope of this enhancement request.

Note 2: It will be necessary to place (i think) a carriage return at the end of each entry component. There should not be any "formatting" inserted into the clear text except these carriage returns. It is understood the user would have to "clean up and style the entry" when they get it in their software.

Time frame: This request is not urgent. Thank you.

Copy button now implemented, but current behavior is to copy math as follows, with https://isotc211.geolexica.org/concepts/2236/ as an example clipboard will have following contents:

greatest lower bound largest element smaller than or equal to all elements of a set contained in an ordered domain \<\<math>> Note to entry: `[AA a in A => min(A) <= a] => [AA b in [(b in [AA a in A => b <=a] => [min(A) >= b]]` Any number is a lower bound of `O/` considered as a set of numbers, because any given number is less than any number in `O/` (an admitted vacuous statement since there is no number in `O/`, but true nonetheless). This means that the `min(O/)` must be greater than any number; this `+oo`.

@strogonoff that's great! I am on Safari though I can't seem to be able to copy/paste. After clicking on the Copy icon, my clipboard still seems empty...

I actually only tested this in latest Safari and got successful results, could you link to the concept in question?

I tried the link you posted. Not sure why it didn't work, I did clear cache... But I tried again and it works! Thanks!

Anton, thank you for adding this functionality. i tried it in FFox but it does not paste the text. the copy buffer appears to be full but nothing is pasted to another window/app. there is no problem using MS-Edge.
