Markdown
Paste above and the Markdown shows here.
How to use it
- Open your Google Doc and select the text, or press Ctrl+A or ⌘A for all of it.
- Copy it with Ctrl+C or ⌘C.
- Click the box here and paste.
- Copy the Markdown, or download it as a .md file.
Tips
- Use Google Docs' heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2) rather than big bold text. They become real Markdown headings.
- Links come out pointing straight at the page, not through Google's redirect.
- Images aren't copied. Add them to your Markdown separately if you need them.
- Comments and suggestions aren't included, only the document's text.
