It should work already. See the snippet on this page, for example:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-and-using-a-live-installation-image/

When you hover over it, it shows a "copy" icon in the top right corner. Maybe the snippet has to be marked as code for this to work?

You must set the experimental attribute in the document header to enable these macros.

Let's merge without further changes for now.

Cool, merging.
