Easy cut and paste Invite codes?

What with LJ retreading their last fool move wrt redirecting outbound links, I felt like posting my invite codes to my flist over there... But I can't find a place to cut and paste them all. What I get when I copy/paste the stuff found at http://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/invitecodes is a mess of unnecessary tr td etc HTML, so I went to try to do it by hand, but even cutting the individual codes out and pasting them into the appropriate link framework "a href="https://www.dreamwidth.org/create?from=zdashamber&code=COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODE"" gets me tt tags around the pasting.

Eh, hold on, the demo paste I did here in the online "Post an Entry" page is clean plaintext, unlike the pastes I did into Semagic. So I'll just copy and paste from here. :)

Still, it seems like it might be a useful thing to have a box on the Invite Codes page with pre-done simple HTML (and maybe a box with BBcode, too) to copy and paste.

Also, for Semagic, you can try using "Edit | Paste Special... | Text" instead of just "Edit | Paste".

Also, you can go to http://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/invitecodes and right-click on the links and select "Copy Link Location" in most browsers.
