Paste as Markdown Extension

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.)

Charles Harman (ID: 000000a4cee7b0a9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/13/2022 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.

Magic (ID: 000000e03988d144) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/29/2021 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.

David Cook (ID: 000000a5c94adc20) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/21/2021 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).

Ingo Reinecke (ID: 0000000461bc627b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/04/2020 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?
