This is great! I wanted to copy markdown into Gmail, but OMG, formatting is horrible and annoying. I installed the chrome extension, refreshed gmail, selected the text and clicked Markdown Here. Magic!

Deixou de funcionar faz alguns meses em meu browser. No meu notebook continua funcionando, entretanto.
