About

Simple Highlighter is a powerful and user-friendly Firefox extension designed for students, researchers, and professionals who frequently gather information from the web. This add-on streamlines the process of collecting and organizing text from currently visited webpage into a structured markdown format, making it easier to review and reference later.

Key Features:
  • Easy Text Highlighting: Simply select the text you wish to save from any webpage. The intuitive interface allows for seamless highlighting without interrupting your browsing experience.
  • One-Click Save to Markdown: After highlighting, a single click saves the selected text into a markdown (.md) file. The add-on automatically formats the text according to markdown syntax, preserving basic formatting like headings, lists, and bold/italic styles.
