How to use copy-to-clipboard with pre-formatted text?

[Vincenzo Romano]

I am using tiddlywiki as an operation manual.

In a lor of places I have some pre-formatted text (either single string or block of text with one or three back quotes) to show commands to be executed on a terminal.

I would like to be able to copy those commands into the clipboard by using the copy-to-clipboard macro.

I haven't found a way and am not even sure this can be actually done.

Any hint?

You can use the copy-to-clipboard macro right away

<<copy-to-clipboard """your text goes here""">>

Hi,

You can download and drag and drop import the file. It contains 3 tiddlers.

 - cmd-code-macro-test
 - cmd-code-macro

 - $:/core/macros/copy-to-clipboard

At the moment the core copy-to-clipboard macro can't handle single backtick code eg: `cd c:\` so I needed to modify the core copy-to-clipboard macros.

cmd-code-macro contains

.code, .cmd and _cmd macros. The tiddler cmd-code-macro-test contains some examples, which you can see in edit-mode.

The whole thing is a bit hacky at the moment. So I may create a pull-request on github. But I'm not 100% sure how it can be improved and I don't have more time atm.

have fun!

Hi,

You could build your own macro that you give your code snipits to as a parameter wrapped in triple quotes
<<yourmacro """
your code snipit hear
""">>

The in a tiddler tagged as a macro
\define yourmacro(code)
Display and provide copy to clipboard $code$ here
\end

The advantage being you can enhance your macro later without touching your doco just your macro.
