<Example code={`<p class="user-select-all">This paragraph will be entirely selected when clicked by the user.</p>
<p class="user-select-auto">This paragraph has default select behavior.</p>
<p class="user-select-text">This paragraph will only allow the text to be selected when clicked by the user, even if the CSS <code>user-select</code> property is set to something else.</p>
<p class="user-select-none">This paragraph will not be selectable when clicked by the user.</p>`} />

## Use cases

- **`.user-select-all`** - Useful for code snippets, IDs, or other content users might want to copy entirely
- **`.user-select-auto`** - Default browser behavior, allows normal text selection
- **`.user-select-text`** - Forces text to remain selectable, useful for overriding a `user-select: none` set by an ancestor
- **`.user-select-none`** - Prevents text selection, useful for UI elements, buttons, or decorative text
