 * WordPress Version: 3.0.1
    Syntax Highlighter Evolved Version: 2.3.8
 * I was just wondering if there was a way to alter the code such a way that when
   I select the code without viewing the source I can copy and paste it without 
   getting the annoying line numbers to paste as well.
 * 1 package {
    2 import flash.display.MovieClip; 3 public class Main extends MovieClip{
   4 public function Main() { 5 } 6 } 7 }
 * That is the code I get when I copy and paste. It’s perfect just without the line
   numbers. Unfortunately, I need the line numbers to describe what is happening
   in the code and where.

 * The next major release of my plugin will feature version 3.x of Alex G’s SyntaxHighlighter
   script which doesn’t highlight the line numbers when you highlight the code.
 * But meanwhile there’s a toolbar in the upper-right of the code box when you hover
   over it. The second button is a copy to clipboard button.

 * Just use the button in the toolbar that will copy the code to your clipboard.
