Question
Does some piece of software exist,
- Where when I copy and paste information from a website, it will auto-format the copy/citation into markdown
- Sum all the common base url's together so that the entire page is not blue. (this is not necessary, would be great)
Desired Output
Let's say I copy information from Software Recommendations tour page
In order for me to do that, I had to hit Ctrl-L and then a copy paste of the words "Software Recommendations Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people seeking specific software recommendations", where as in the bookmark application Pinboard, if I select/highlight the information, it brings all the text highlighted, into the bookmark automatically.
Examples of Pinboard

I know this happens when you try and copy a motivational quote from this website Brainy Quote
Brainy Quote Output after Paste
Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me. Read more at: https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/c/carolburne371189.html?src=t_motivational
After seeing this, I searched stackexchange and found this How to add extra info to copied web text
- this proved it's possible.
I also found this, but it did not happen to solve the person's question. Markdown editor to preserve URL links in text copied from browser
