    Chrome desktop Links don't copy paste over into txt file


    So I was looking at Microsoft document, with hyperlinks.
    Today I was copying the whole page and pasting
    the text and what I thought was working links into NotePad++.
    The links just dont display. Am I forgetting something?

    Note: Long addresses written out in a Rich Text Document work.
    But links with just a title dont work in Rich nor NotePad++ txt file?

    Example on one of the pages linked, these would all be clickable Links.
    But the just appear as Text when copied into a txt file:

    Contents
    Macros
    Texture object
    Sampler object
    Storage object
    Uniform variables
    Structs
    Namespaces
    User functions
    Intrinsic functions
    Techniques

    Pages I was viewing:::

    reshade-shaders/REFERENCE.md at slim . crosire/reshade-shaders . GitHub

    I'm not quite clear what you are hoping for: is it for the heading text on that first link, say 'macros' to be copied into NP++, appear exactly as the word 'macros', but magically act like a link when you click on it (in NP++)? Plain text editors don't work that way! But you can rt-click each heading, select 'copy link' and then paste into whatever, eg pasting with CTRL-V here:
    reshade-shaders/REFERENCE.md at slim . crosire/reshade-shaders . GitHub

    And NP++ will interpret them as links, and make them clickable. But you will have to do them one at a time! If you select several at once and click 'copy link', you get the one under (or nearest?) the mouse cursor.

    Plain text files cannot contain magically hidden things the way Word docs do (somone may prove me wrong).
