Obsidian Markdown to Slack

md_slack.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

filename = "/Users/hyuan/Development/bin/tmp/tmp_slack_md.txt"
file = File.open(filename)
file_data = file.read

# Upper case title
re = /^#* .+/
file_data.gsub!(re) { |match| "*#{match.upcase}*"}

# Mutate todos
file_data.gsub!("- [ ]","*ACTION ITEM:* ")

# Substitute ** for *
file_data.gsub!("**","*")

# Remove #
file_data.gsub!("\#\#\# ","")
file_data.gsub!("\#\# ","")
file_data.gsub!("\# ","")

# Add bullets since Slack doesn't support bullets and add indentation because gsub doesn't support capture groups
re = /^		- /
file_data.gsub!(re,"		• ")

re = /^	- /
file_data.gsub!(re,"	• ")

re = /^- /
file_data.gsub!(re,"• ")

# Remove mentions
file_data.gsub!("[[","")
file_data.gsub!("]]","")

# Remove highlights
file_data.gsub!("==","")

# Reformat URLs
file_data.gsub!("[","")
file_data.gsub!("]",": ")


# File.write(File.basename(file) + "_slack.txt", file_data)
puts file_data

I use this script with https://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/ so that I can copy my text notes from Obsidian, strip out and convert Obsidian Markdown to Slack Markdown and paste into channels when working with teams that are Slack based but still need well written (and formatted) notes.

Any chance this could go in a plugin?

Not a plugin, but this workflow works for me: https://gist.github.com/matthughes/349f9ca2449a529e276d05f3877df1a9?permalink_comment_id=4566519#gistcomment-4566519
