The Copy As PlainText plugin adds a one-click way to convert your markdown content into clean, unformatted text. Whether you're stripping headings, links, tables, math blocks, or footnotes, this plugin gives you fine-grained control over what gets removed. It offers two modes: a quick regex-based Simple Mode for basic formatting, and a slower but more accurate AST-based mode that parses full GitHub-flavored markdown. You can toggle individual syntax elements like hashtags, LaTeX, YAML frontmatter, or highlight markers in the settings. Access is quick via right-click or the command palette, making it ideal for copying notes into emails, documents, or plain-text apps without markdown clutter.
