dsh-md-export

When you spend most of your day reading and curating Markdown notes, design docs, or API specs inside dsh-better-sidebar, sharing one of them with a colleague who does not run DSH usually means copy-pasting into another editor and fighting with formatting. dsh-md-export steps in for exactly this gap: it appends a single Export dropdown button to the Markdown toolbar so sharing becomes one click.

The button offers two paths. Save HTML grabs the already-rendered DOM of the current file—tables, code blocks, Mermaid diagrams included—and writes a standalone .html right next to the original .md. The layout inherits the preview theme you are looking at (dark or light, auto-following), with no A4 page cropping. Export PDF opens the browser print dialog; pick Save as PDF and you are done. Because it reuses the previewer's rendered output directly, there is no second render pass, and if you are still in edit mode with unsaved content the plugin silently switches to preview first so nothing is lost.

The extension is fully non-invasive: preview, edit, save, and Mermaid rendering all keep their original behavior; it simply adds a button to the toolbar. It is a good fit for developers and technical writers who manage documentation centrally in the DSH sidebar and regularly need to hand off a self-contained HTML or PDF to teammates.
