Hello,

Unfortunately, there are pretty many "dialects" of markdown. `pandoc` has an option for MediaWiki, though. (I have only used `pandoc` to convert very simple documents, so I cannot judge the quality, but it seems to me that `pandoc` is recommended by many people)

By the way, conversion from LaTeX to html seems to be also painful. tex4ht breaks quite often, although I usually use it to convert math papers to ebooks to push on Kindles to read - when it works, it is okay. At least theoretically, texmacs does better - it has a much more regular syntax than LaTeX.

Best wishes,

Hi Alvaro & Darcy,

Thanks for your pointers to the existing works towards converters.

I am still puzzled on how these things work for, e.g., wikipedia.
Indeed, if there exist high quality converters between Markdown and,
say Html + MathML, then there is no reason to re-invent the wheel.

I looked at 'pandoc', as suggested on this list, but noticed that
the results are very poor on existing wikipedia pages (I tried to
convert the page on the Gamma function to Html and to LaTeX).
Maybe I am missing some important options, but in that case
the documentation is poor.

But maybe there are better tools?

Best wishes, --Joris

For conversion _to_ markdown, you might want to look at previous work by

I'd like to write a native Markdown parser in TeXmacs after TeXmacs 2.1 is
released.

I have former experience of writing markdown parser:
https://github.com/sadhen/libmdcpp

Since I have extract the kernel of texmacs here:
https://github.com/texmacs/kernel

It would be a good idea to develop the markdown parser in a seperate repo
and finally
integrate the code into the TeXmacs svn repo.

Hi,

is there a way to export a simple texmacs text (no maths) to markdown ?

I admit that I am a bit lost concerning the different available markdown
formats.
It seems that there are many different flavors and on the Wikipedia page
on
Markdown it is not even explained which format Wikipedia uses...

Precisely because there are so many different formats, it might be best
to use existing converters to/from Html to do the conversion.
Anyone knows of a good and lightweight free package that can convert
between Html and the most common markdown formats?

Best wishes, --Joris
