Description

GitHub has added the feature to copy text styled in a specific language using

    ```<language>
    Some text
    ```

by clicking on a button that on the right-upper corner of the generated area that appears only when the user hovers over that area (see above on the right).
I find that useful as often times the reason why something has been styled in that specific language is to allow for copy and pasting code.

I plan to follow up with a few copy-related features after https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/15899.

As for this button, I think I'd prefer if it would copy plain text without fences but I see there may be a necessity to have both options, e.g. "Copy as Markdown" and "Copy as Plain Text". Same goes for the copy feature on lines when viewing a file.

Wait… When is there a necessity to copy text as markdown?

Ah, no there actually is no copying as markdown, I was just confused by copying above block because it in itself is markdown. We should always copy plain.
