CopyFunction

is an option for TemplateBox that specifies how the box is to be copied.

Details

CopyFunction takes a function that produces a box expression.
TemplateBox parameters are substituted into the function to create the box expression that is sent to the kernel when the box is evaluated.
When a TemplateBox is copied, a full-fidelity version is placed on the clipboard. If the clipboard is then used to paste into an external text editor, CopyFunction controls how the TemplateBox is converted to plain text.
CopyFunctionAutomatic causes the DisplayFunction to be used if the TemplateBox is copied as plain text. If the TemplateBox is copied as input text, the InterpretationFunction will be used.
