Description

I suggest adding an option to copy the code snippets to your clipboard. Clipboard.js is a nice JavaScript library which makes it super easy. If you agree, I will start working on this :)

Contributor guide

Research direction
The issue requests adding a copy to clipboard button for code snippets. First, check the current codebase (likely in the repository's site source) to identify where code blocks are rendered and if any clipboard functionality already exists. Then evaluate using the clipboard.js library or the modern Clipboard API (navigator.clipboard.writeText) for a lighter dependency. Since the issue has an assignee but no linked PR, confirm if the assignee is still active or if the feature is open for new contributors. Provide a clear implementation plan including where to add the button and how to trigger the copy action.
