Plugin for Obsidian that copies the current document to the clipboard, so it can be pasted into HTML aware application like gmail.

This plugin exposes the Copy document as HTML: Copy the current document to clipboard command, which can be bound to a keyboard shortcut.

Simple styling is applied to the document.

Currently working with :

• ✅ images
• ✅ plantuml
• ✅ diagrams
• ✅ obsidian-tasks
• ✅ obsidian-dataview - for large dataview blocks the content may not be complete
• ✅ Excalidraw - rendering as bitmap solves pasting in gmail
• ✅ Mermaid

• You may choose whether you want to embed external links (http, https) or not. If you don't (default), you will need internet access to view the document, and the linked image may be taken offline. If you do your documents will be larger.
• It is possible to customize or replace the stylesheet in the settings dialog.
• The default is to convert SVG to bitmap for better compatibility at the cost of potential quality loss. If you know that you are pasting into an application with good .svg support, you can disable the Convert SVG to bitmap setting.
• It is possible to render code and callouts to HTML tables. This makes them ugly except in Google Docs where they make the document slightly prettier.

The plugin converts image references to data urls, so no references to the vault are included in the HTML.

• No mobile support
• Special fields (double-colon attributes, ...) are not removed. (front-matter is)
• data-uris can use a lot of memory for big/many pictures
• transclusions with block references are not supported (transclusions with headings are)

Look for Copy document as HTML in the community plugin section in the Obsidian settings.

Don't be afraid to comment if anything seems wrong !

Please see the Obsidian sample plugin.
