On: Markdown.css – Make HTML look like plain-text mark...

[lilyball]

Cute. But is there any way to make the markdown formatting text actually selectable/copyable? Right now I can't select it, and if I copy the text surrounding it, the markdown formatting simply vanishes.

There is. You just need to manipulate the selected text as described here http://stackoverflow.com/a/36582615/308851 and https://github.com/niklasvh/jquery.plugin.clipboard here.
