### 6.1. Clipboard content

Next to the above button, a read-only text field permanently shows a short description of current clipboard content:

- an element name if a single element has been copied or cut to the clipboard,

- OR `#text` for a text node or for a sequence of characters,

- OR `#comment` for a comment node.

- OR `#processing-instruction` for a processing instruction node,

- OR the number of nodes (between square brackets) if more than one node have been copied or cut to the clipboard . Example "`[5]`" if the five list items of this itemized list have been copied to the clipboard.
