title: How can I use JavaScript to select text in a pre node/block?
body: <p>I understand the security reasons behind dis-allowing JS copying arbitrary text to the clipboard, but is there a method by which clicking a button can select the text in a pre node similar to how the select() function works in an input?</p>
  
  <p>I am not looking for the jQuery plugin that copies to clipboard. I just want to text in pre block to be highlighted so user can ctrl-c to copy.</p>
  
  <p>I seem to finding squat.</p>
