Copy a block
Copy a block as Markdown for elsewhere, or as itself for another DigiPages page.
Copy in the block menu puts two versions of the block on your clipboard at once, and the app you paste into takes the one it understands.
| Where you paste | What arrives |
|---|---|
| Another DigiPages page | The block itself, rebuilt — a code block stays a code block, a table stays a table. |
| A terminal, an email, a chat | Markdown — a fenced code block, a bulleted list, a Markdown table. |
A pasted copy becomes a new block rather than moving the original, so you can safely copy a block into the same page twice.
A code block also has its own copy button in its header. That one copies the code raw, with no fences, because pasting a fence into a terminal is a syntax error.
