You may exclude elements matching CSS selectors from being copied by specifying the `copybutton_exclude` option in ``conf.py``.

For example, a viewer usually doesn't want to copy the line numbers, and CSS provides a way to exclude this. This option
implements that option for sphinx-copybutton as well.

how about instead of hard-coding .linenos, we just set this value to be a list that defaults to ['.linenos']. Then if somebody wants to define their own exclusion list, they can provide it and include .linenos as well on their own. This seems a bit simpler


By default `.linenos` is excluded. If you specify the `copybutton_exclude` option it will replace the default.

By default `.linenos, .gp` are excluded. If you specify the `copybutton_exclude` option it will replace the default.
`.linenos` is the Sphinx default for line numbers, and `.gp` is Pygments (the highlighter of Sphinx) for "prompt", e.g. `$` in a shell-session.

I am unsure if we want .gp by default, but since sphinx_rtd_theme (and probably others should as well) makes it unselectable by default, it seems reasonable that we mirror that behavior.

But, if we add .gp by default, then themes which don't un-select .gp will confuse users. If we do add it, users in themes that understand pygments have to change things. Hm, seeming more like like interpreting the CSS has some sort of advantages but I'm not sure if it's worth the extra work yet...
