+<p>The Symbian platform supports the concept of cut, copy and
+paste by providing a clipboard. An application can copy data to the clipboard
+and the same data can then be pasted in by the same application or by any
+other application. </p>
+<p>The clipboard is a resource which is shared by all applications. An application
+must, therefore, hold the clipboard for the minimum time possible. </p>
+<section id="GUID-848D26F4-3875-4BF7-AAEC-476F709B9E6E"><title>Cut, copy and paste</title> <p>The clipboard is encapsulated
+by the <codeph>CClipboard</codeph> class. Applications use this class when
+they place data on, or retrieve data from the clipboard. </p> <p>It is implemented
+as a direct file store. When the data is placed on the clipboard, it is stored
+in the clipboard's store as a stream or a network of streams. Every data type
+placed on the clipboard is identified by a UID. This allows a pasting application
+to identify the required data. </p> <p>It uses a stream dictionary to maintain
+UID and stream ID pairs, and always makes the stream dictionary the root stream
+of the store. </p> <p>The essential features of the <codeph>CClipboard</codeph> class
+are shown in the following diagram: </p> <fig id="GUID-22419444-933C-5431-9717-CD332A17FCF2">

+</fig> <p>Any type of data can be placed on the clipboard. When retrieving
+data, applications check the UID in the stream dictionary to determine whether
+there is any data relevant to them. The following diagram illustrates a typical
+situation: </p> <fig id="GUID-3ABDDCDD-DBC9-5BD5-8448-8249F535FB06">
