I had some HTML content that I wanted to convert to markdown.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The simplest tool I found to do this effectively was a python utility called [Markdownify](https://pypi.org/project/markdownify/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I used Nix Shell to install it:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
nix-shell -p python311Packages.markdownify
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And to do the conversion I just did:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
markdownify myfile.html > myfile.md
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
where `myfile.html` is the name of the file I wanted to convert and `myfile.md` in the name of the markdown file it got converted to.
