Hello Everyone,

I’m not sure I understand why Copy as Markdown isn’t available from the context menu of a text selection on iPad (first image), but we can copy the whole note as Markdown. I’ve tried using Copy as Plain text, but that won’t include markdown syntax.

Would be helpful for copy-pasting chunks of text from one MD application to the next. Right now there doesn’t seem to be a good way to do that.

Thanks for reporting this problem, we’ll add the markdown option with the next update.
