Paste as Markdown

This extension worked exactly as advertised. I copied text from an email which included hyperlinks and pasted it into a Trello card where the links were preserved exactly as intended. Nicely done. Thank you.

Does what it says on the tin, does it well. Makes it easy to post the erotica I write to websites that only support markdown when pasting from rich text docs.

Great way to fill the gap when working with markdown inputs, thank you! Now I can copy anything into GitHub comments.

Great behaviour

Nice idea. You mentioned that it is based on Turndown, could you enable the tables plugin? Maybe add the available plugins as options for the addon?

Thanks for the review. Indeed Google Docs use CSS styles and those are not detected/analyzed by Turndown, the underlying engine of Markitdown, which is based on vanilla HTML. What Turndown detects by default is <b>this is bold</b> but not <span style="font-weight:bold">this appears bold</span>. This is fixed with version 5.7.2 onwards.
