Web developers for instance might be inclined to copy the html instead of the plain text to be able to process it further or use the information to paste it into an editor that is compatible to html code.

One example could be to copy a nicely formatted html table into a rich text editor. It is possible to copy the html manually by looking at the source code, finding the code and text that should be copied and pasting that code into another application.

Copy Code on the other hand automates the process. After installing the Firefox add-on it is simply a matter of selecting the text on the website that should be copied, right-clicking when that is done and choosing the Copy HTML entry from the menu.

The Copy Code add-on for Firefox is a experimental add-on which means that users who want to install it need to log into the Mozilla website first.
