Oxygen XML Forum

Hello. I wish to use OxygenXML to convert a Word document to Markdown. I wish to view the resulting code also.
I was told I can simply do a Convert Document BUT cannot see where that option is in OxygenXML 25.1.
Can someone please advise this newbie
Many thanks.
Michael

Hi Michael,

I would suggest doing this in two stages:
1) Install and use the Oxygen XML free Batch Converter add-on to convert Word to DITA XML:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... addon.html
2) Open the resulting DITA Map in the Oxygen DITA Maps Manager view and use the "Configure Transformation Scenarios" button with the predefined "DITA Map Markdown" transformation scenario to convert the DITA Map to Markdown.

or as an alternative in step (1) with the batch converter add-on convert Word to HTML and then in step (2) find some tool online which can convert HTML to markdown.
Just like with any other conversion the results might not be perfect without doing some manual work.
