Copy the Exact Text with Link URL, Quote, Page Title etc through QuoteURLText
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkTuesday, November 25, 2008
Suppose you want to copy and paste texts from a web page. Though the data can easily be copied (unless that particular website has copy protection) as plain text and pasted to yours, its painful to take all the metadata alongside it. Suppose you want to copy a part where someone has a quote and an embedded link too. What you will have to do is, copy the text then use quote button for that quote part, use link button to link to the proper address and etc. While all these things can seem rather tedious, Mozilla add-on QuoteURLText
can do it for you.
How to Do It
- After installing, Highlight and select the relevant texts from a webpage
- Right click to select copy via QuoteURLText
Or
Use the shortcut keys by pressing Ctrl+Shift+C (Win) or Command+Shift+C (Mac). - You can set the option and refine the metadata to be copied along.
- Eventually, you can also choose to copy plaintext or rich text only if you like.
This can really be a useful feature for bloggers. What do you think of it?
