Building on the work of the +Roam bookmarklet, here is a version that allows you to capture text from webpages and articles in a few different ways:
- It will copy the text automatically. A red "copied!" pill will show in the top right of the page to let you know it worked.
- If you do not select anything it will give you only a markdown link to the page
- If you select something it will give you the selected text in italics with a markdown link to the page
- If you select more than one thing (firefox only I believe) it will give you a markdown link to the page with the selected text as child blocks nested underneath.
To try it, drag this link to your bookmarks and then select text on a page and then click the bookmark.
