Extension summary

The Markdown Link Generator extension helps you create an inline text link used in a markdown document format (https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#link).

To create an inline text links in a document, we use a set of regular parentheses immediately after the link text’s closing square bracket. Inside the parentheses, we put the URL where we want the link to point. These steps to create links require few copy and paste actions and switching between windows or tabs.

This extension will help you automatically generate an inline text link by selecting the desired text and a single click with minimal context switching.

How to use it?

  1. Select the desired text on the page
  2. Right-click and select the "Copy Markdown Link" option from the context menu
  3. Paste the generated link in your markdown document
