converting docx, tex and pptx to markdown

docx

conda install pandoc

Then to convert to "github flavored markdown (gfm)" saving all figures in a folder called "media" in the current directory.

pandoc --to gfm --extract-media='.' week01WS01.docx -o week01S01.md

The result: week01S01.md

Issues

1. figures need to be included with <img> tags and sized correctly.
2. Tables unlikely to render correctly
3. superscripts and subscripts need editing (I have a regular expression filter for that)

pptx

Step 1: extract the images to a folder named media

export cdocs=~/repos/convert_docs
cd $cdocs
conda install conda-lock
conda-lock -f environment.yml -p osx-64
conda  create --name convert  --file conda-osx-64.lock
conda activate convert
cd ~/google_drive/e340_convert/Day_01_Intro/Slides
python $cdocs/scripts/image_extract.py Day01_IntroClass_2019t2.pptx media

Step 2: convert any wmf files to png using snaggit

Step 3: make the markdown file

python $cdocs/scripts/build_notebook.py Day01_IntroClass_2019t2.pptx media

Step 4: edit the markdown to make questions md2canvas compatible
