CONVERTING TEXT FORMATS WITH PANDOC (Pandoc site) One of my favorite tools is Pandoc. I use Pandoc when I need to convert one text format to another. One of the really useful things Pandoc can do is turn HTML or Markdown into EPUB format. I frequently do this in order to turn a set of notes into a file I can read using iBooks on my iPad. I do this in order to have an easily accessible set of notes for my workshops or to turn lengthy documentation into an easy to read offline format to read on an airplane. Pandoc can convert from and to many different file formats. In addition to creating quick EPUB files, I also use it to convert copy from Word documents to Markdown or other useful formats. This can be very useful if you get some messy copy from a client that needs to be converted to enter into a CMS. from: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2018/07/text-editing-tips-tricks/ Also see: Converting html to markdown using pandoc How to Use pandoc to Convert Files on the Linux Command Line
