## Description

Markdown Clipboard turns rich text into Markdown without a round-trip through a web app.

Convert the clipboard (toolbar icon): copy formatted text from anywhere — a chat app, a docs editor, a web page — then click the toolbar icon. The extension reads the HTML flavor of your clipboard, converts it to Markdown, and writes the Markdown back as the plain-text flavor while preserving the original HTML flavor, so pasting into rich-text targets still works. A small icon animation confirms success (green check), tells you there was no HTML to convert (amber dash), or reports an error (red cross).

Copy as Markdown (right-click): right-click a link, image, or selection to copy it as Markdown. Supports GitHub-flavored tables, task lists, strikethrough, fenced code blocks with language detection, and MathML → LaTeX.

Optional keyboard shortcuts: both actions are available as commands but ship without default key bindings (so nothing clobbers your existing shortcuts). Assign your own under Manage Extension Shortcuts if you want them.

Everything runs locally in your browser. No accounts, no servers, no tracking — see the privacy policy.
