Converting a Word Document to Markdown in One Move

The Problem

A lot of important government documents are created and saved in Microsoft Word (*.docx). But Microsoft Word is a proprietary format, and it's not really useful for presenting documents on the web. So, I wanted to find a way to convert a .docx file into markdown.

Installing Pandoc

On a mac you can use homebrew by running the command brew install pandoc.

# Thanks goes to @pete-otaqui for the initial gist:

#
# Original version modified by Marek Suscak
#
# works with a file called VERSION in the current directory,
# the contents of which should be a semantic version number
# such as "1.2.3" or even "1.2.3-beta+001.ab"

rules matching by regex

Occassionally we want to make a rule that matches on something more complex than file extensions. If, for example files that will be prefixed with pandoc_ depend on files that do not contain the prefix.

Ex: pandoc_slides=>slides.rmd. we can make a rule that will capture this, but we need to use a lambda function to do so:

rule (%r{pandoc_.*\.md}) => lambda{|objfile| potential_source_files.find{objfile.pathmap("%{pandoc_,}n")}} do |t|
	puts "This rule gets #{t.name} from #{t.source}"
end
