Save HTML from clipboard as markdown text

I want to be able to highlight a section of a web page and copy it to the clipboard then save it to my local disk as markdown. I need an efficient way to do that. My current cumbersome method is: 1. highlight section and copy to clipboard 2. open Libre Office Writer 3. paste into Writer 4. save Writer doc as HTML 5. open terminal 6. cd to the directory where I saved the HTML 7. pandoc -s -r html /home/me/a/b/mydoc.html -o /home/me/a/b/mydoc.md Obviously, I need a better method! Any suggestions?
