Browser extensions to paste as markdown

[markfields]

Maybe these would better live in another repo with a dependency on this code, but I'd love to have a browser extension that lets me paste as markdown on any site, and this project seems reasonably active so I'm bringing it up here :)

Late to the party, but I'm building an extension right now... Can you elaborate on your needs? The extension I'm building will let one copy any text from any page and get Markdown in the clipboard as a result.

But from your wording, do you mean being able to copy something from outside the browser (say, in a text editor) and paste it as Markdown? (Not sure how that would work but it's an interesting problem!)

@bambax - Cool! Yeah I'm talking about pasting as Markdown, regardless of the source. e.g. copying from a Word document or message in Slack or whatever.

I might be interested in collaborating on your extension to add this support - not that I've really felt the need that often, but sounds fun to build. Never built a browser extension before. ...If I find the time, anyway...

Actually the extension is live, and it does that: paste as Markdown. I found it's much more useful than copy as Markdown. So anything that's in the clipboard can be pasted (in a webpage) as Markdown, without modifying the content of the clipboard; the transformation happens when pasting. Interested in what you think!
