Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

The clipboard package provides a basic framework for copying and pasting text and commands into and across multiple documents. It replaces the copypaste package.

2013/01/18 v0.2 Renamed: copypaste->clipboard Commands: Copy {key} {content} Paste {key} {content}

ewclipboard {basename}

openclipboard {basename}

Announcement required: Yes

Additional comments:

This is a complete replacement for the copypaste package. I cleaned up the code but decided to rename the package because I had to rename all user commands due to old yank being confusing to emacs users.

thanks for the upload; i've installed the new package, and added an entry in the catalogue repository.

in due course, the copypaste package will move from the main ctan tree (leaving a link, in the first instance); we don't throw out packages immediately, unless they prove to be a legal embarrassment, or the like....

Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/clipboard.html or they may browse the package directory at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/clipboard/
