Describe the Bug

Unfortunately, it is not possible to copy callouts, which would definitely speed up the processing. It looks like a callout is handled like a font formatting, maybe that is also a good approach?

Steps to Reproduce

Make an callout
copy with STRG+C
try tp paste with STRG+V

Expected Behaviour

That the callout is copied

Screenshots or Additional Context

No response

Exact BookStack Version

21.12.05

PHP Version

7.3

Hosting Environment

Ubuntu20, PHP7.3, Apache2, MYSQL

Hi @christianhz01,
It should be possible to copy callouts. By default the format won't copy across if you're just copying and pasting the text but selecting vertically across the callout allows copy and paste.

Here's me copy and pasting mulitple callouts on our demo site (Firefox on Fedora 35):

Hi @ssddanbrown

thanks for the answer but you can not do this if you use a callout in a table...

@christianhz01 I was able to do the same within a table on our demo site. Same rules applied, need to select vertically across the callout.

@ssddanbrown Can you make a video of that as well? I can only do it by marking two cells.

If it's the only thing in a cell you might need to make a little space to ensure you can select it.

If it's any easier, Note you can use Ctrl+9 to format the current block as a callout. Pressing it multiple times cycles through the types. That what I'm doing at the end of the video.
