## Issue

Fibery’s Multi-columns Layout feature, described in the [User Guide](https://the.fibery.io/@public/User_Guide/Guide/Multi-columns-Layout-198), allows flexible layouts in rich text fields. However:

- The Markdown copy button doesn’t capture Multi-columns layouts, failing to serialize the `columns` node structure.
- Copy/pasting rich text field content that contain Multi-columns layouts requires automation or custom script.

## Request

Enhance the Markdown copy-paste functionality in Fibery’s rich text editor:

1. **Serialize to Markdown** : Automatically convert Multi-columns layouts to a Markdown-compatible syntax (e.g., `[[columns|ratio=0.333,0.333]]...[[/columns]]`) when copied.
2. **Convert on Paste** : Parse this syntax on paste to reconstruct `columns` nodes with their attributes (e.g., `columnRatio`).
3. **Preserve Content** : Maintain nested content (e.g., paragraphs, lists) within columns during copy-paste.
