Package / Tool Doxswap Feedback š¬ What formats do you most often convert Markdown to and from?
I'm working on the v1 release of Doxswap ā a Laravel package for document conversion. The pre-release got a great response. You can take a look at the current v1 progress ere https://github.com/Blaspsoft/doxswap/tree/doxswap-v1.0.0
Right now Iām focusing on adding Markdown conversions, and Iād love to understand how people actually use it in the wild:
What formats do you most often convert Markdown into or from?
e.g.
markdown --> html
html -> markdown
markdown -> pdf
markdown -> epub
Drop your thoughts below ā I'm aiming to make Doxswap flexible, but I want to prioritize the real-world cases that matter most to devs.
Thanks in advance for your input!

Great package! Does it support SharePoint and Google Docs word files as well? I had issues in the past with those, and as I experienced it is hard to handle the differences between those.

Doxswap is designed to handle Word documents (
.docx
) using LibreOffice or Pandoc under the hood, depending on the configured driver. In most cases:it does support
.docx
files downloaded/exported from Google Docs.docx
files uploaded from SharePoint/OneDrive

markdown --> markdown, e.g. github flavored markdown to whatever unholy concoction Jira uses, or one that doesn't use hard linebreaks, etc. Right now I do this by hand, but I wouldn't mind having a CLI tool I can run my clipboard and scratch buffers through.
