How to Use the ILoveMD Chrome Extension Like a Pro.

1. Master the One-Keystroke Hotkey

Why click through menus when you can convert any webpage in milliseconds? ILoveMD comes equipped with a native Manifest V3 background keyboard hotkey:

When pressed on any public website, the extension extracts the main article DOM, strips sidebars and navigation noise, and opens RAG Studio with your cleaned Markdown pre-filled in a new tab!

2. Smart YouTube Video Transcribing

Triggering the extension on a YouTube watch page (youtube.com/watch?v=...) automatically activates our smart video handler:

• Fetches official and auto-generated subtitle tracks using our 5-layer scraper defense.
• Extracts exact video metadata: Title, Channel Name, Publish Date, Duration, and Description.
• Groups subtitles into chronological 1-minute blocks (e.g. ### [01:00]) for seamless vector database chunking.

3. Quick File Conversion Without Leaving Your Tab

Need to parse a PDF contract, Word doc, or Excel spreadsheet while working on another site? You don't need to navigate away:

1. Click the ILoveMD extension icon in your Chrome toolbar.
2. Switch to Tab 2: ⚡ Quick File Convert.
3. Drag and drop your local PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, or JSON file directly into the dropzone.
4. Copy the GFM output or download the .md file instantly!

4. Right-Click Paragraph Extraction

If you only want a specific paragraph or table from a long research paper:

Highlight the text block, right-click, and choose ILoveMD: Convert Selection to Markdown. The selected text will be formatted into GFM and copied directly to your clipboard!
