TextClipboardType

TextClipboardType
is an option for cells that specifies how Edit ► Copy treats a cell when converting it for the system's textual clipboard.

TextClipboardType is typically used in stylesheets to customize the default clipboard behavior for different cell styles.

Choose Edit ► Copy As instead of TextClipboardType to change the clipboard type for a single copy operation.

	"PlainText"	preserve the cell as plain text; equivalent to Edit ► Copy As ► Plain Text
	"InputText"	preserve Mathematica's ability to reevaluate the cell; equivalent to Edit ► Copy As ► Input Text
	"Package"	return exactly what you would get if you saved the cell as a package

By default, the value of TextClipboardType is for input and output cells, for textual cells, and "Package" for code cells.
