Description from extension meta

Paste as Markdown.

Image from store Paste as Markdown
Description from store Paste the content of the clipboard as Markdown, in any web form. The content of the clipboard can come from anywhere (a text editor, a graphics program, another web page, etc.) and be in rich text format with italics, bold, lists, etc., and it will be converted to Markdown upon pasting. The clipboard content is unchanged, the conversion happens when pasting. Everything happens within the browser, nothing is sent outside of the browser. New (starting with 5.7.2): can now interpret inline styles bold & italic (for Google Docs, etc.)

  • (2022-01-13) Charles Harman: This extension worked exactly as advertised. I copied text from an email which included hyperlinks and pasted it into a Trello card where the links were preserved exactly as intended. Nicely done. Thank you.
  • (2021-11-29) Magic: Does what it says on the tin, does it well. Makes it easy to post the erotica I write to websites that only support markdown when pasting from rich text docs.
  • (2021-10-21) David Cook: Great way to fill the gap when working with markdown inputs, thank you! Now I can copy anything into GitHub comments. I noticed a couple of little things that could be improved: - Multi-level lists seem to get flattened to a single level - A table wasn't converted to markdown. (but it remained as HTML which still displays fine in GitHub) The keyboard shortcut (Alt+C) is handy, but not advertised (please show it in the description above and in context menu if possible). It would be great to be able to customise the keyboard shortcut, it doesn't seem intuitive to me (on a Mac).
  • (2020-03-19) 稲浦悠馬(YumaInaura いなうらゆうま): Great behaviour
  • (2020-02-04) Ingo Reinecke: Nice idea. You mentioned that it is based on Turndown, could you enable the tables plugin? Maybe add the available plugins as options for the addon?
  • (2020-01-15) Leo King: Hi, I love the idea, but unfortunately this doesn't work. I tried copying text which I had written in Google Docs into Reddit, and using the Paste as Markdown. The Google Docs text contained bold formatting. There was no markdown when I pasted it into Reddit.
  • (2019-12-20) Michael Kaczerginski: Je témoigne que cet outil fait bien le travail qu'il doit faire. Récupérer du rich-text et produire du Markdown. Cette extension est donc très utile pour moi qui travaille sur un projet de TALN et sur de la construction de corpus.

  • (2023-03-28, v:0.5.7.2) Dave MacLachlan: Paste as Markdown not working on Mac
    Paste on Markdown doesn't seem to be working on my Mac. Version 111.0.5563.110 (Official Build) (x86_64) macOS 13.2.1 (22D68) Thoughts? I choose "paste as markdown" and nothing happens. FWIW "Copy As Markdown" isn't working either.
  • (2023-01-09, v:0.5.7.2) Armin Stroß-Radschinski: Proper transformation of nested unordered, ordered lists and Quotes would be great.
    I like your evolution of the translator UI. I am using the old code from the website/gihub on my own server, but it translates < and > to html entities which is not necessary. This plugin solved the issue. The thing I am missing is nested objects. I t needs still a lot of handwork to translate long nested bullet lists by adding 4 leading spaces per level of indentation. Since I have no access to the sourcecode, I cannot male further suggestions or add a pull request. Most of the time I use the translator for quick transformation input into Logseq or Trello. So source and target are outside of the browser. Any hints for a translation via services on macOS?
