I'm trying to figure out a way to convert this type of Markdown header: # Sample Header to this type: Sample Header ==== Backstory: My firm's case management app uses underscores instead of asterisks for bold/italics, and also use equal signs (====) under headers, instead of a hashtag before the…

Pandoc is a good free and flexible tool for this kind of thing. Here, for example, I have installed pandoc https://pandoc.org/installing.html checked its install location by entering the command which pandoc in the shell, and copied the path to a KM variable, [27] Paste MD as setx italic.kmma…

Thanks for bringing Pandoc onto my radar. Looks interesting, and powerful. I dove into the Pandoc site a bit - enough to learn that I'm looking to convert atx headers into setext headers. The actual syntax to do that, though, looks like it has a pretty steep learning curve.

The example above doesn't do that in the way you need ? ( markdown_strict uses setext for the top two levels. Is setext defined for levels lower than that ? )

Actually, my bad - it does. Thank you! I was testing it going from Agenda, and it isn't working correctly from there. But I just tested it from a plain text file, and it worked, so there must be something wonky going on in Agenda that I need to troubleshoot. Thank you!!!

I just took ComplexPoint's generous work and integrated it into the macro, and all is working well. I put in my steps to convert the asterisk flavor Markdown to underscore, and the final brute force steps to paste into my case management system. All this happens with one keystroke, as long as my cur…

Somewhat of an unrelated question, but any idea why the lines might be getting truncated? In the attached screenshot, if I type in text manually, the "This is line 3" text will go all the way to the right edge. Using the macro, it appears some hard or soft returns are inserted into the text. If I tr…

Only double line-feeds are syntactically noticed by Markdown to HTML generators, so the line-wrapping done by pandoc may not matter much, but if you like you can switch it off on the pandoc command line: --wrap=none or --wrap=preserve ( see the --wrap option in https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html )

Thank you. That did the trick. The final syntax of the "Execute Shell Script" step ended up as follows, for anyone wondering: "$KMVAR_pandoc" -f markdown_mmd -t html | sed 's|<em>|~~start~~|g' | sed 's|</em>|~~end~~|g' | "$KMVAR_pandoc" -f html -t markdown_strict --wrap=none | sed 's|~~start~~|_|g'…
