I'm formatting the notes in another application, I suspect it's a pretty regular use case. Given that clipping.io is now a paid service, your is the only way to do this for free. So hopefully more users!
Honestly, I very much doubt that. If it was a regular use case, someone would have asked for it before. Or at least recently. And sorry, but I am just not interested in doing this. The plugin has fairly well defined goals. It won't be that hard for you to remove the tags in an editor.

The next change I am interested in for the plugin is adding support for the calibre annotations (fetch from device to these). That is going to cause enough problems that adding something that I don't use, and, doesn't really have much interest elsewhere, is not something I want to do.

[Current workaround is to use a unique string in the 'Timestamp format' field, which allows you to Find All in a text editor and get rid of the location markers]



Any textual marker to mark the start of a note would help! Just like the 'Timestamp format' allows, since it would enable post processing through a text editor/macros.

To bring the formatting options inside the plugin does open up some questions, and would be a luxury if the above was possible.
The CSS gets stripped in a text editor is my problem, but I understand mine might be a fringe case.
I'll think about this, but, again, it isn't that interesting for me compared to the amount of work it would need.
