Remove background color from code copied from Visual Studio Code
// If you paste code from Visual Studio Code into another app on
// OS X, it will apply the current theme's background.
//
// This trivial program takes no parameters. It simply reads
// HTML from the clipboard, and removes the background-color
// attribute. Because I'm pasting into Keynote, it also
// bumps the font size.
//
// in VSC:
// select some code and copy (Cmd C)
//
// at the command line (in any directory):
//
// $ swift clip.swift
//
// then just paste into your app of choice.
