[Popup,Hybrid] Copy URL and Title

Displays a list of formats and copies a link to the clipboard.

Currently the following formats are included :

• AsciiDoc
• BBCode ( Bulletin Board Code )
• DocBook
• #haml ( HTML Abstraction Markup Language )
• HTML ( HyperText Markup Language )
• Markdown
• Org-Mode ( Org Emacs Mode )
• Plain text
• POD ( Plain Old Documentation )
• reStructuredText ( reStructuredText )
• RDoc ( Ruby Document )
• Textile
• TGML ( Tecumseh Group Markup Language )
• txt2tags
• WikiCreole

If the gesture was performed on an a element, the link will point to its href, otherwise to the current document. If there is selected text, that will be the link text, otherwise the link text or the document title respectively.

Usage

Perform a gesture anywhere on a document to get a list of formats and select the one to apply before copying the link into the clipboard.

Configuration

Configuration not really supported.

But adding new formats is pretty simple. The formats are enumerated in FireGestures.API_copyURLTitle.format and the filters in FireGestures.API_copyURLTitle.filter.

The format strings are somehow Liquid-like templates, where :

• field placeholders are enclosed in double pair of braces ( {} )
• field names can be followed by any number of filters separated by pipe ( | )
• filter parameters are separated from the filter name by colon ( : )

However there is no intention to completely reproduce Liquid, so filters can have at most one parameter, filter parameters are not enclosed in quotes and white spaces inside the placeholders are not allowed. Only two fields exist : url and text. I bet you guess what they are.
