🤖 This is an automated PR from Repo Assist, created in response to a maintainer request on #72.
Closes #72.
What this does
Adds a "Copy" button that appears on hover in the top-right corner of every code block in pages generated by
fsdocs. This makes it easy to copy F# snippets (including those with inline FSI output) directly into a.fsxfile.Root cause / context
Since 2013 (#72), there was no easy way to copy code samples from generated docs — especially F# highlighted blocks with inline output markers that make manual selection difficult.
Implementation
docs/content/fsdocs-copy-button.js(button class="copy-code-button")into everytable.pre(F# highlighted) andpre > code(Markdown fenced) block. Uses the modernnavigator.clipboardAPI with anexecCommandfallback for non-HTTPS environments.docs/content/fsdocs-default.css.copy-code-button(absolute-positioned, visible on hover) and.code-block-wrapper(a(div)wrapper used fortable.preblocks to provide a positioning context without breaking existing selectors).docs/_template.htmltype="module".RELEASE_NOTES.mdDesign decisions
table.preF# blocks: copies text from the.snippet precolumn, omitting line numbers.pre > codeblocks: copiesinnerTextof the<code>element.document.execCommand('copy')for pages served over plain HTTP.Test Status
Build: ✅
dotnet build FSharp.Formatting.sln --configuration Releasesucceeded (0 errors, 4 pre-existing warnings aboutSystem.Drawing.Commonvulnerability unrelated to this change).Note: The copy button is a pure front-end feature in template/CSS/JS files; there are no unit tests to run for it. Visual verification would require running
dotnet fsi build.fsxto generate docs.
