Online Paste to Markdown (in JavaScript + HTML)

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/08

Apparently I was living under a stone since the 2015 introduction of [Wayback/Archive] Paste to Markdown:

Paste to Markdown

Instructions

  1. Find the text to convert to Markdown (e.g., in another browser tab)
  2. Copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl+C, or ⌘+C on Mac)
  3. Paste it into this window (Ctrl+V, or ⌘+V on Mac)
  4. The converted Markdown will appear!

The conversion is carried out by to-markdown, a Markdown converter written in JavaScript and running locally in the browser.

The “to-markdown” I did already know (see A few HTML to Markdown converters written in javascript, Python, Ruby, PHP and C#) but has been renamed from [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – domchristie/to-markdown: An HTML to Markdown converter written in JavaScript into then “turndown” repository below.

The go-to solution for this is to manually modify the CSS. This can often be a pain because the CSS is either deeply nested or – even worse – uses semi-random HTML class attribute values.

This post is a reminder to myself to check if the below CSS modification in my Stylus library still works (gist link is at the bottom of this post):
