Best way to display copyable text?

So I've got a scratch project where I'd really like for the user to be able to copy the text output to the clipboard. As far as I know, the only place you can copy text from is List. But Lists are very ugly and take up alot of space. This is of course made worse by the current lack of a show/hide List command. So, can any more experienced scratchers suggest another method or any kind of workaround?

Nope. Unless you want to use custom blocks, which the other person would need to even play the project. And they won't work online.

But I made a project a while back, and I told people how to install the blocks (in another project) and it worked fine.


I made a MC texture pack! Get it at planetminecraft!

You could put the same thing in the notes. The only other way was mentioned by G0D_M0D3

No good, because the text changes. Thanks for the idea though.

Looks like I'm stuck with the ugly ugly List readout then.

Edit:
Durh. I see even that doesn't work in presentation mode, so probably not on the website either. Meh. Does anybody know if anything like this will be available in 2.0?
