Add Download Markdown link with proper filename generation

[mich-elle-luna]

• Added download link in the page meta-links sidebar
• Generates unique filename based on page path/title
• Uses JavaScript fetch to download with custom filename
• Positioned alongside Edit and Create Issue links

Note

Low Risk
Small UI/template change that adds a client-side download action; risk is limited to potential CSP/browser quirks or missing markdown output format on some pages.

Overview
Adds a Download Markdown action to the page meta-links sidebar alongside Edit/Issue links.

The partial now detects the page’s markdown alternative output URL, generates a sanitized .md filename (prefer page path, fallback to title), and uses an inline fetch+Blob helper to download the rendered Markdown when available.

Fetch doesn't check response status before downloading

Medium Severity

The fetch call pipes response.blob() without checking response.ok first. If the server returns a non-2xx status (e.g., 404 or 500), the error page HTML body is silently converted to a blob and downloaded as a .md file. The user receives a file that appears valid but contains HTML error content instead of the expected markdown.

Oh... I see. There's a bunch of JSON metadata, followed by the actually page content in Markdown.

[mich-elle-luna]

Thanks David, yes it is a bit confusing, the idea is that a person could download an entire file and put it into the context window of their coding assistant using these links.

[dwdougherty]

Thanks for the additional context, @mich-elle-luna. The proposed changes seem to do what you intended, but I haven't done extensive testing; just a few pages here and there. That said, I'll go ahead and approve.

@mich-elle-luna I think this a really good idea, but just something to consider/discuss: is downloading the Markdown from the link the best way to make it available? I'm just thinking that browsers have a "Save linked file" or "Open link in new tab" option when you hover over a link, so you could maybe just have a link to the index.html.md page saying "View as AI-friendly Markdown", or something. As you say, people might often want to copy/paste the Markdown into a prompt, so another option might be "Copy text as AI-friendly Markdown" (or whatever) - possibly quicker than downloading and then requiring the user to find and attach the file? Anyway, just some thoughts, it's pretty good as it is :-)

@dwdougherty I think other people will have exactly the same reaction you did, so I'll investigate where all those extra blank lines are being added and remove them.

For this request, it was specified to have downloadable pages, so I will keep it this way for now and we can revisit it as we get feedback. Thank you!
