Convert RST to Markdown using Pandoc

rst_to_md.sh

FILES=*.rst
for f in $FILES
do
  filename="${f%.*}"
  echo "Converting $f to $filename.md"
  `pandoc $f -f rst -t markdown -o $filename.md`
done

Great share - many thanks!

Thanks

Thank you!

Here's what I ended up with in case it helps anybody.

# recursively find and convert RST to MD
find . -name '*.rst' -exec pandoc {} -f rst -t markdown -o {}.md \;
# rename .rst.md extensions to just .md
find . -name '*.rst.md' -exec rename "s/.rst.md/.md/" {} \;

When I run this I get "open binary file does not exist". help?

@rachrobts Try this one-liner instead:

# Non-recursively
for rst in *.rst; do pandoc "$rst" -f rst -t markdown -o "${rst%.*}.md"; done

# Recursively (if your shell supports double-star globs)
for rst in **/*.rst; do pandoc "$rst" -f rst -t markdown -o "${rst%.*}.md"; done

Great

This doesn't seem to be working for me properly. I have this input:

.. literalinclude:: _output_sensor_flic.json
    :language: json
    :linenos:

And I get this output:

::: {.literalinclude language="json" linenos=""}
\_output_sensor_flic.json
