Is there a program or workflow to convert .doc
or .docx
files to Markdown or similar text?
PS: Ideally, I would welcome the option that a specific font (e.g. consolas
) in the MS Word document will be rendered to text-code: ```....```
.
Save a Word Document as a Markdown FileSave the file with the Save As… command. In the dialog box, enter your file name and select Markdown from the dropdown for Save as type.
Package Structure A WordprocessingML or docx file is a zip file (a package) containing a number of "parts"--typically UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoded XML files, though strictly defined, a part is a stream of bytes. The package may also contain other media files, such as images and video.
Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax. Docs supports CommonMark compliant Markdown parsed through the Markdig parsing engine. Docs also supports custom Markdown extensions that provide richer content on the Docs site.
Pandoc supports conversion from docx to markdown directly:
pandoc -f docx -t markdown foo.docx -o foo.markdown
Several markdown formats are supported:
-t gfm (GitHub-Flavored Markdown) -t markdown_mmd (MultiMarkdown) -t markdown (pandoc’s extended Markdown) -t markdown_strict (original unextended Markdown) -t markdown_phpextra (PHP Markdown Extra) -t commonmark (CommonMark Markdown)
