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.
On a mac you can use homebrew by running the command brew install pandoc.
| #!/bin/bash | |
| # | |
| # generate a Markdown version of a word document. Goes in separate folder, since | |
| # images are extracted and converted as well (separate folder avoids naming clashes). | |
| # | |
| # REQUIREMENTS: pandoc | |
| # | |
| # | |
| # with pandoc | |
| # --extract-media=[media folder] |
| #!/bin/bash | |

Some smart people who didn’t want to teach users how to code in HTML invented Textile markup language
Someone more lazy invented MarkDown syntax which is much easier to learn. MarkDown is really nice for small content management systems, blogging engines etc.
For instance, to mark text as bold, you write the “bold text” like “bold text”. Other rules can be found in the syntax page.
However, when you have a MS Word document with several pages of bolds, italics and lists, you don’t really want to re-code all the markup.
