+## Specifying the mime type of the content
+
+If you're using the `$clipboard` magic function, you can pass an additional argument to the function specifying the mime-type of the content. This is especially useful for copying things as HTML and being able to paste into rich text editors, email clients, etc.
+
+```html
+<button x-on:click="$clipboard(content, 'text/html')">
+    Copy as HTML
+</button>
+```
