Word to Markdown

An Office plugin for converting Microsoft Word documents to Markdown

Why?

When markdown content is needed, perhaps for a blogging system that uses Markdown as input (e.g. Ghost) or for writing project documentation that will live on GitHub, BitBucket or similar, the content author may prefer to work with a tool they're more familiar with rather than learning Markdown syntax.

If that preferred tool happens to be Microsoft Word, you can use this add-in to convert the Word document to Markdown.

Development

1. Check out repository
2. npm install will install all dependencies and build the application

To view the add-in in a browser, run npm run gulp serve-static and visit https://localhost:8443

In another terminal, run npm run gulp watch for your changes to be automatically applied. You can then reload your page to see the changes.
