Description

Feature request from RacketCon: make it easy to copy/paste examples from scribble/examples.

The problem is that the code snippets in "Examples:" often need some context in order to run, so you can't just copy/paste from the docs to start experimenting with the examples.

One solution: add a "copy to clipboard" button to every codeblock made from an @examples[....]

Research direction

Start by tracing how scribble/examples renders code snippets made from @examples[....]. Check the generated documentation output and existing example-related tests, if present. Done means each such code block has a copy-to-clipboard button and the copied code includes the context needed to run it.
