# Copy Markdown Source

When you copy a selection, the clipboard gets the Markdown source, not the rendered preview.

Native copy from Live Preview or Reading view drops `###` heading markers and `$$` math fences. Paste still looks right inside Obsidian and wrong everywhere else. This plugin writes `text/plain` as the source you typed.

## Use

Enable the plugin. Select text and copy as usual (Cmd+C). Paste into a chat, email, or editor.

Command: **Copy selection as Markdown source**.

## Example

Copied source:

```markdown
### (a)
$$
\forall n. A(n) := \exists a,b,c,d \in \mathbb{N}. (a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2=n)
$$
```

Not the stripped preview:

```text
(a)

\forall n. A(n) := ...
```
