RECURSIVELY Bash convert all your html to markdown files (with Pandoc)

html2md-with-pandoc.sh

find . -name "*.ht*" | while read i; do pandoc -f html -t markdown "$i" -o "${i%.*}.md"; done

Thank you! Helped me to convert multiple folders of .md files to .docx and saved a lot of time

This is great! Thank you.

Is there an adjustment to make it convert HTML tables to Markdown tables?

@oldmanumby - after doing a web search, it looks you can do it through their pipe_tables extension.

You need to look into how to set that extension up. I am not sure how it works. I did this little one-liner 13 years ago, and I am not sure how the Pandoc software has changed since then.

find . -name "*.ht*" | while read i; do 
  pandoc -f html -t markdown+pipe_tables "$i" -o "${i%.*}.md";
done

Yep, that's what I found, too. THX!
