  • Click the extension's icon to copy a link for the current page.
  • Press Alt+C to copy a selection or a page's link.
  • Right-click part of a page to copy it as markdown. Select before right-clicking to copy multiple parts.
  • Double-click the extension's icon or press Alt+CC to copy links for all tabs.
  • Select tabs before double-clicking the icon to copy links for only those tabs.
  • Use the options page to customize these features.

By default, the markdown created from a selection includes a link that navigates to the part of the page you selected, when possible. This is accomplished with text fragments and/or HTML element IDs. Firefox does not support text fragments yet, but the Firefox version of Stardown allows you to create links with text fragments.

Want to just copy markdown links for pages without installing an extension? You can use this bookmarklet instead: javascript: navigator.clipboard.writeText('[' + document.title + '](' + location.href + ')');

Privacy

Stardown will never sell any data to anyone, and does not collect nor send any of your personal data anywhere besides putting markdown text into your clipboard.
