- Headers and subheaders
- Lists (ordered and unordered)

Content is immediately available on your clipboard.

Tips and Best Practices
Verify Formatting — Check that formatting displays correctly in your destination. Some platforms handle markdown differently.
Choose Relevant Sections — Copy only what your audience needs rather than entire documents.
Provide Context — Ensure sections can be understood independently when shared.
Track Versions — Note which document versions you're using when building reports from multiple sections.
Troubleshooting
