About this extension

This is an extension to clip websites and download them into a readable markdown file. Please keep in mind that it is not guaranteed to work on all websites.

To use this add-on, simply click the add-on icon while you are browsing the page you want to save offline. A popup will show the rendered markdown so you can make minor edits or copy the text, or you can click the download button to download an .md file.
Selecting text will allow you to download just the selected text

Context Menus
You can also right-click on pages, images, links and selections to copy or download snippets of Markdown.
You can also download all tabs in a window as Markdown files

External Libraries
It uses the following libraries:

- Readability.js by Mozilla in version from commit 52ab9b5c8916c306a47b2119270dcdabebf9d203. This library is also used for the Firefox Reader View and it simplifies the page so that only the important parts are clipped. (Licensed under Apache License Version 2.0)
- Turndown by Dom Christie in version 7.0.1 is used to convert the simplified HTML (from Readability.js) into markdown. (Licensed under MIT License)
- Moment.js version 2.27.0 used to format dates in template variables

Permissions
- Data on all sites: used to enable "Download All Tabs" functionality - no other data is captured or sent online
- Access tabs: used to access the website content when the icon in the browser bar is clicked.
- Manage Downloads: necessary to be able to download the markdown file.
- Storage: used to save extension options
- Clipboard: used to copy Markdown to clipboard

Pricing
Huh? This is an open-source extension I made for fun. It's completely free. However, if you absolutely have to send me money because you like it that much, feel free to throw some coins in my hat via the following:

Release notes for 3.1.0

- Firefox for Android (nightly) support
- Updated Readability and Turndown
- Added GitHub-flavoured Markdown (GFM) plugin to Turndown (adds some mardown table support)
- Added support for MathJax -> LaTeX (thanks @LeLocTai)
- Disallow slashes in title text replacements
- Suport for Open Graph meta tags as variables (which use `property` instead of `key`)
- Fixed an issue with regex characters like `|` in date formats
- Resolved an extra slash in file name causing images to fail to download in chromium browsers
- Added some support to parse pre elements as code blocks (supports syntax highlighting on GitHub, but not much else yet)
- Added option to enable or disable the context menus
- Added some extra keyboard shortcuts. These can be customised, depending on your browser
- <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>M</kbd> opens the popup (as it has in previous versions)
- <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>D</kbd> downloads the current tab as markdown, bypassing the popup
- <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd> copies the current tab as markdown to the clipboard, bypassing the popup
- <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>L</kbd> copies the current tabs URL as a markdown link to the clipboard
- Added support for template variables having different casing using `:` followed by the casing type. For example, for an article titled "Different Types of Casing":
- `{pageTitle:pascal}` — "DifferentTypesOfCasing"
- `{pageTitle:camel}` — "differentTypesOfCasing"
- `{pageTitle:kebab}` — "different-types-of-casing"
- `{pageTitle:snake` — "different_types_of_casing"
- Added support for rending italics in double underscores (`__`). This isn't valid MarkDown (will output as __bold__), but it's useful for people copying to Roam
- Support image download as base64 embedded urls, directly in the markdown file
- Added some extra variables related to the url beyond the existing `{baseURI}`:
- `{origin}` - The origin of the URL, that is its scheme, its domain and its port
- `{host}` - The domain (that is the _hostname_) followed by (if a port was specified) a `:` and the _port_ of the URL.
- `{hostname}` - The domain of the URL.
- `{port}` - The port number of the URL.
- `{protocol}` - The protocol scheme of the URL, including the final `':'`.
- `{pathname}` - An initial `'/'` followed by the path of the URL, not including the query string or fragment.
- `{search}` - The URL's parameter string; if any parameters are provided, this string includes all of them, beginning with the leading `?` character.
