Copy as Markdown

Copy Link or Image as Markdown code

Copy as Markdown is a powerful browser extension designed to streamline your content creation workflow by enabling you to copy selection text, links, images, and even entire browser tabs as Markdown formatted code directly to your clipboard.

Custom formats allow you to tailor how Markdown is generated to fit your specific needs, while customizable keyboard shortcuts speed up your workflow. Copy as Markdown respects your privacy, requesting permissions only when necessary and never collecting browsing history. It’s a versatile tool for developers, writers, and anyone who uses Markdown regularly.

某些网页中，比如grok的对话，一些代码是用特定颜色的字体来表示的，看着比较舒服。复制成Markdown格式后没有保留这个特征，全都是黑白的。看能不能再优化下

除了数学公式、代码有问题，其他都可以用。作者什么时候添加这两个支持，期待~
