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.
