I also noticed on that page:
To skip all console outputs, add .go to the string above.
@stevepiercy did you intentionally not include that? Seems also useful (prompt outputs are usually not runnable code and would interfere with copy-paste-run)

@drammock I didn't include it because console output is not something that I would copy and paste into a terminal session. For example, in MyST source:
```console
A
billion
lines
of
...
stacktrace
```
However it might be useful in some other context of which I am not aware. Perhaps notebooks or some other utility? I selected only the options with which I am familiar. I can ammend my PR to what you think is best.

When I use the copybutton in code blocks, I expect to be able to paste the code into my terminal without having to delete the prompt that gets copied. This PR fixes that issue by excluding CSS classes that Pygments generates in code blocks.
