Description Gregor Mi 2018-12-31 15:52:20 UTC 
Current situation:

Open a Markdown file with Okular, select text (including formatting like bold text or bullet lists) and choose "Copy Text" from context menu.
=> The text in the clipboard is just plain text.

Wish:

It would be nice if the text which is copied in the clipboard would keep its formatting.

Use-case: Take tons of notes in markdown and send excerpts via email in a nice formatted way.

Workaround:

Use 'File > Export As > HTML (or Open Document Text)' to create a file and copy the formatted text from there.
