    Convert docx to markdown with pandoc

    I usepandoc to convert masses of Word documents to markdown. Still working on a generic script, but for nowhere's the "gist" of what I type into the terminal:

    $ myfilename="example"$ pandoc \-t markdown_strict \--extract-media='./attachments/$myfilename' \$myfilename.docx \-o$myfilename.md

    Pandoc markdown is nice, but with Word documents it oftenadds odd things in translation.Stick to markdown_strict to avoid that.

    I try to organize media (images, etc) embedded in documents under an attachments subdirectory with folders named for each file.This helps avoid "collision" between media file names and makes conversion out of markdown into other formats (HTML, PDF)less messy.

    This helps get me 90% of the way there. I use a mix of'markdown+bracketed_spans+backtick_code_blocks+fenced_code_attributes+fenced_divs' but I have to manually re-add the[]{custom-style="foobar"} code as well as the horizontal lines... well, close...

    In case someone needs to process multiple files in a given directory calledinput-files this helped me:

    #!/usr/bin/env bashset -euo pipefailIFS=$'\n\t'BASE_DIR="input-files"ATTACH_ROOT="attachments"# Ensure base attachment dir existsmkdir -p"$ATTACH_ROOT"# Find all .docx files under BASE_DIR (recursively), handling spaces safelyfind"$BASE_DIR" -type f -name'*.docx' -print0|while IFS=read -r -d'' docx;do# Relative path (without BASE_DIR/ prefix if present)  rel="$docx"case"$rel"in"$BASE_DIR"/*) rel="${rel#"$BASE_DIR"/}" ;;esac# Strip extension  rel_noext="${rel%.*}"# Build a filesystem-safe prefix from the relative path:# - lowercase# - replace any non [a-z0-9] with '-'# - collapse multiple '-' and trim leading/trailing '-'  prefix="$(printf'%s'"$rel_noext" \| tr'[:upper:]''[:lower:]' \| sed -E's/[^a-z0-9]+/-/g; s/-+/-/g; s/^-+//; s/-+$//')"  media_dir="$ATTACH_ROOT/$prefix"  mkdir -p"$media_dir"# Output Markdown path: same folder next to the .docx, same basename with .md.

    1. Save asconvert-docx.sh
    2. Make executable:chmod +x convert-docx.sh
    3. Run:./convert-docx.sh
