Description

Describe the bug

The copy to markdown button does copy the source code of the page and not a markdown version of it. I would, however, expect to get a markdown version of the page and would prefer not to expose my source code.

To Reproduce

Generate two pages

page1/page.mdx page2/page.mdx

in page 1, import page 2.

import Page2 from '../page2/page2.mdx';

<Page2 />

Klick on the copy button. Currently it copies the source code, not the markdown.

Expected behavior

Copies rendered content as markdown
