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.

Reminder to self write a JavaScript NoDrives encoder/decoder on a web-page

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/01

A long time ago, I wrote about How to hide an entire drive from prying eyes on Windows 10 | Windows Central.

The easiest way is still to add/modify a NoDrives value in the Registry, but regrettably [WayBack] NT Drive Calculator – The ‘NoDrives’ Registry Key Value Calculator is down (it was a server-side solution, so the WayBack Machine link does display a page, but the calculator does not function).

My use case is that I have an existing NoDrives value that I want to update (as there have been one or more drive letters added/changed).

View DOM Source bookmarklet

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/12

This is cool as it shows the page source not as it was first loaded, but from how it is currently rendered which includes all post-load modifications by any scripts: [Wayback/Archive] View DOM Source bookmarklet.

Via [Wayback/Archive] Martin Splitt on Twitter: “I made a bookmarklet to view the rendered source (aka the DOM) of a page. 👀 🚀 Works with Chrome, Firefox, Safari and possibly others, too. 🌈 Beautifies the code 🎨 Includes syntax highlighting 💻 Get the bookmarklet at 👉 experiments.geekonaut.de/view-dom-source 👈”

Julia Evans (b0rk on Twitter) motivated many people to post their web browser Javascript debugger tip

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/10

There are quite a lot of cool responses to b0rk asking this a while back: [Wayback/Archive] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “does anyone know of a good demo (blog post / video) of how to use a Javascript debugger in a browser to investigate a bug? I’ve used debuggers in C but never Javascript”

Archived just in case I need to do more web development stuff.

Brush up on your knowledge of the elements with this Chrome Experiment, an interactive Periodic Table by Sarath Saleem: goo-gl/HJ9O31 #fridayfun

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/03

[Wayback/Archive] https://plus.google.com/+Chrome/posts/AgtEDd7ngEJ “Brush up on your knowledge of the elements with this Chrome Experiment, an interactive Periodic Table by Sarath Saleem: goo-gl/HJ9O31 #fridayfun”

This reminded me so much about the atom spin tables I wrote some Turbo Pascal code for in the late 1980s to help a university professor. Maybe one day, I will find that code back.

(note: I expanded the actual googl link because Google URL Shortener was killed in 2019 with links stopping to work in 2025, see [Wayback/Archive] Google Graveyard – Killed by Google)

Tampermonkey script twitter-to-bsky: Crosspost from Twitter/X to Bluesky and Mastodon

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/28

For my TODO list: [Wayback/Archive] twitter-to-bsky

Crosspost from Twitter/X to Bluesky and Mastodon

twitter-to-bsky – crosspost from Twitter/X to Bluesky and Mastodon directly in the web browser

twitter-to-bsky is a userscript written for Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey running in desktop web browsers (Chrome/Firefox/Edge).
It allows to automatically crosspost to Bluesky and/or Mastodon when writing posts in the Twitter/X web application in a desktop browser.

Revisited: Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navivate to the canonical link

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/27

I put the proper Bookmarklet wrapper around the functions from Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navivate to the canonical link (because especially Firefox needs them):

An immediately invoked function that returns no value or an expression preceded by the void operator will prevent the browser from attempting to parse the result of the evaluation as a snippet of HTML markup:

javascript:(function(){
  //Statements returning a non-undefined type, e.g. assignments
})();

It means they now have become these:

  • Archive.is: navigate canonical URL

    javascript:(function(){location=document.querySelector('link[rel="canonical"]')?.href})();

  • Archive.is: prompt canonical URL

    javascript:(function(){prompt("Anchor",document.querySelector('link[rel="canonical"]')?.href)})();

Newer WordPress bookmarklets for navigating from a blog post to the classic editor, or getting the canonical url anchor of a blog post

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/08

Last year I posted about Some JavaScript bookmarklets for WordPress published pages centered around navigation and IDs.

It depended on HighlanderComments to exist in order for getting its .connectURL which contains the canonical blog post URL (i.e. from https://wiert.me it obtains https://wiert.wordpress.com).

Nowadays HighlanderComments does not always exist, but in that case <link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="https://wiert.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd"> does exist.

Its’ href value can be obtained by querying document.querySelector('link[rel="EditURI"]').href and truncate it, so I made some conditional code that first tries the HighlanderComments and defers code obtaining it from the link element I mentioned above.

I also added proper Bookmarklet wrappers so the function results don’t leak to the console or Browser (Firefox really does not like Bookmarklets without this wrapper).

javascript:(function(){
//Statements returning a non-undefined type, e.g. assignments
})();

Firefox also dislikes pasting code into the development console.

Code:
