Template Extension

Provides quick and easy access to lots of information about the current page and environment;

tab title and URL (all the way down to the protocol used), shortened URL, meta information, screen and page dimensions, browser information, cookies, plugins, formatted date & time, operating system, geographic location, referrering page, colour depth, current selection, markdown formatting, statistics, scripts, and style sheets

Just to name a few...

Better yet, using a unique template system it allows users to easily create their own templates making the possibilities endless and includes a built-in step-by-step guide to help you write your own. These predefined templates are also provided to help you get started;

* URL - Copies the URL of the current tab
* Short - Copies the shortened URL (using any of the supported services)
* Anchor - Copies an HTML anchor tag with the URL and the tab's title
* Encoded - Copies the encoded URL (to be safely added directly in to an HTTP query)
* Markdown - Copies a Markdown inline link with the URL and the tab's title
* BBCode - Copies a BBCode URL tag with the URL and the tab's title
* Selection in Markdown - Copies the current selection on the page as Markdown

So with a click of a button you can add all this information directly to your system clipboard without any formatting. This saves you so much time with those tedious tasks and it's certainly any testers best friend.

With support for keyboard shortcuts and context (right-click) menus access to your favourite templates is even quicker and they are all easily manageable thanks to Template's unique and simple options page.

# URL Shorteners
The following URL shortener services are supported;

* bit.ly - Link to your bit.ly account to allow tracking on your timeline
* goo.gl - Login to your Google account to allow tracking on goo.gl
* YOURLS - Link to any custom YOURLS installations

# ATTENTION

Yoshihide Saeki (ID: 0000009bfa6bab8f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/01/2021 This extension WAS really great, but NOW, the project is dead. Not working on latest chrome. farewell 👋

Rebecca White (ID: 000000dc0adb4565) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/25/2019 Was not expecting to find so many hard to find features under the hood. Like being able to copy HTML via selection or xPath. Super dope. Icon is bunk though

M K (ID: 00000027d1d67ce7) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/18/2019 Why do all the reviews for this extension end around 2016? Did everyone switch to a better tool? I installed this years ago when COLT (copy link text) stopped being available. I like Template, although the name is annoyingly generic, making it hard to search for. This ext seems like it's more complicated than it needs to be, when you first get it up & running. That said, I enjoy that it has some advanced features, I just haven't been willing to put in the time to figure them out. Also the documentation/guide/examples are fantastic-- if you can find them. Took me forever to realize there was more info on other tabs (but maybe that's just me).
