About Copy Selection as Markdown
Copy Selection as Markdown is a browser extension that copies a web page's title, URL, and selected text as Markdown. It is installed from Add-ons for Firefox. The source code is published on GitHub. The author describes the extension as being in maintenance mode: it is considered stable, and no new features or major changes are planned. Critical issues may be addressed, but other issues may not be resolved.
The extension offers several formatting options, including heading, list, code block, emphasis, and link styles, plus an option to embed images as base64 text. Some images may not be embedded because of browser or server security restrictions, in which case they keep their original URLs. Google Chrome users must build and install the extension themselves at their own risk, as it is not distributed through a store.
Key features
- Copies selected text as Markdown with the page title and URL
- Firefox context menu options for copying page title, URL, and links
- Toolbar button and keyboard shortcut (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+E)
- Also copies a rich text (HTML) version of the selection to the clipboard
- Configurable Markdown styles for headings, lists, code blocks, emphasis, and links
- Optional base64 embedding of images, with some images possibly blocked by security restrictions
