A proof-on-concept app that converts DocX documents to markdown format. Build upon an excellent library: DocX.

Download latest release archive file. It contains all necessary files. It must be run from command line.

The conversion process contains two phases:

You must run DocXToMarkdown.exe with the /analyze parameter, eg:

DocXToMarkdown.exe /analyze CV.docx

This call will produce the CV.json file, which contains all the different styles that document has. This is the simple JSON object, where keys are the styles from document and values are markdown elements, that the concrete style will be convert to.

The file looks like this (keys are from polish version of Word 2013):

{  
    "Nagwek1": "Header1",  
    "Nagwek2": "Header2",  
    "ordered_lista1": "OrderedList",  
}  

Avaliable converters:

• Header1
• Header2
• Header3
• Header4
• Header5
• Header6
• P
• OrderedList
• UnorderedList

Application will try to guess which style should be assigned to which converter, based on number and type, but you need to check its guess.

When converters are assigned, the next phase is actual convert.

You must run DocXToMarkdown.exe with the /convert parameter, eg:

DocXToMarkdown.exe /convert CV.docx

It will produce multiple files:

• CV.md - actual markdown code
• CV_images/*.jpg - directory that contains images

Thats all :)
