## Description

Shortcode to add a button that loads either the value of a given HTML form element
or a supplied string to the clipboard when clicked on. The button is Flash (as required
for security reasons in Flash 10+), but it mimics the look and behavior of the default
WordPress buttons fairly closely.

Use the shortcode format `[clippy id="id_of_form_element"]` or `[clippy value="string
to load directly to clipboard"]`.
