About

This is an extension for PopClip.

Author

Nick Moore

Requirements

Notes

The original extension used html2text by Aaron Swartz.

The updated JavaScript extension uses PopClip’s inbuilt markdownifier, which uses Turndown.

Hat-tip to Brett Terpstra whose Web Markdownifier extension inspired this one.

Changelog

@nick Thanks. Is it possible to improve the extension to make it automatically append the copied as markdown text to a certain markdown document (without pasting it manually)?
