Comment on Markdown.css – make HTML look like plain-text

Comments

Awesome project. Is there anything that can actually convert HTML to Markdown though?

The wonderful pandoc (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html#general-options) can, along with many other things.

I use pandoc[1] for this.

  curl -s example.com | pandoc -f html -t markdown -
[1]: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/

This works too:

    pandoc -t markdown http://example.com

Nice. Didn't know pandoc can directly read from an URL, even easier.
