[Feature] [Docs] Do not copy line numbers when clicking the clipboard

[shrekris-anyscale]

Search before asking

• I had searched in the issues and found no similar feature requirement.

Description

Docs such as this one include code snippets that can be copied by clicking a clipboard pop-up:

However, due to updates in the doc formatting, clicking this clipboard now also copies line numbers (that are inserted using :linenos: in the source rst documentation files). The requested feature is to allow users to click this clipboard and copy only the code, not the line numbers.

Use case

This feature makes it easier to follow along coding examples in the documentation.

@shrekris-anyscale very good catch, thanks for spotting this. Should be an easy fix!

ok, so surprisingly enough this seems to be a sphinx >= 4.0 issue, which needs to be patched in downstream themes:

sphinx-doc/sphinx#9363

The RTD theme has fixed it, the book theme might not be aware yet:

readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme#1168

Bumping this issue to remove the stale tag. I believe line numbers still get copied with the clipboard.
