From docx to markdown #2

Closed azzaea closed 5 years ago

azzaea commented 6 years ago

This is not an issue per say, but a useful hint I guess, following some discussions with @ameintjes.

This is a handy script for converting a docx file into markdown. It only requires pandoc to be installed in your system (version 1.18 works for me, but with older versions, I had problems with pictures). Code credit goes entirely to Jesper Rønn-Jensen entries here. Images would be nicely extracted, but tables might require more manual intervention.

Another way if working with a Google doc would be to use the GD2md-html Google Docs add-on. Details on installation and usage can be found here

Thank you @cjfields for pointing this out!

Actually, the GD2md-html provides better conversion than the docx2md.sh script mentioned above. Much better to stick to the addon actually!

Closing this issue because it is addressed in the contribution page now. Also, since the recommendation is to stick to the Google addon, I'm deleting the converter script
