Comment on Markdown.css – make HTML look like plain-textparent

Comments

The problem (at least for me on FF18/Win7) is that you can't just copy/paste the converted markdown, since it is just a display trick, not actual parsed and generated raw text.

Exactly.

I had made a converter that used XSLT and produced actual selectable and copy-able (?) markdown text; didn't gain much traction; I'll post it again to see if anyone's interested.

Here is my version of a Markdown converter:

Converts any rich text to Markdown (vanilla Markdown, but selectable).

Same with FF18 on other platforms. (Iceweasel 18 on Parabola)
