Copy text with links

Open Kvain opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Hello! I want to copy the selected text along with the links: the selected text itself; the name of the link; URL link. For example, here is a piece of text from a wikipedia article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-platform_software#Hardware_platforms

This is a simple copy of the text

A hardware platform can refer to an instruction set architecture. For example: x86 architecture and its variants such as IA-32 and x86-64. These machines often run one version of Microsoft Windows,[5] though they can run other operating systems as well, including Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD, macOS and FreeBSD.

And so I need:

A hardware platform can refer to an instruction set architecture <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_set_architecture>. For example: x86 architecture and its variants such as IA-32 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IA-32> and x86-64 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64>. These machines often run one version of Microsoft Windows,[5] though they can run other operating systems as well, including Linux, OpenBSD <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBSD>, NetBSD <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetBSD>, macOS and FreeBSD <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD>.

How to do this in link-text-location-copier?

@Kvain

If you are using a Chromium-based browser you may try Auto Copy extension, screen of extension settings:

Auto Copy 4 1 6 - 2020-01-14 - 003

You can manually specify the format to your liking. I am using this extension and it works fine.

If you are using Firefox only you may try QuoteURLText2 extension- I have not used it since I have switched to a Chromium-based browser.

I hope this helps.
