    ; Debugging tips
    ; 1. Check if pandoc is installed. If not, the best way is to install through choco.
    ; choco install page:https://chocolatey.org/packages/pandoc
    ; 2. Check if `paste.exe` is available to PowerShell, same thing for `clip.exe` ==> these two are necessary Windows utilities/executable that were called with Ctrl+V and Ctrl+C
    Run, PowerShell  "paste.exe | pandoc -f markdown-smart --from=gfm -t HTML |  Set-Clipboard -AsHtml ; echo 'Conversion done.' "
    ; Caveat: single quotes are pasted wrongly, as question marks.

With Markdown texts copied to the clipboard, typing togo and press <space>-key will trigger the script to convert those pure texts into Rich texts. This helps when I was sharing my Markdown notes in Emails or Google Forums.
