Converting a Word Document to Markdown in Two Moves

The Problem

A lot of important government documents are created and saved in Microsoft Word (*.docx). But Microsoft Word is a proprietary format, and it's not really useful for presenting documents on the web. So, I wanted to find a way to convert a .docx file into markdown.

The Solution

As it turns out, there are several open-source tools that allow for conversion between file types. Pandoc is one of them, and it's powerful. In fact, pandoc's website says "If you need to convert files from one markup format into another, pandoc is your swiss-army knife." But, although pandoc can convert from markdown into .docx, it doesn't work in the other direction.

React <-> D3 Resources

Thanks for all the stars.

Due to unexpected demand, I move this to a proper github repo, see here: https://github.com/chroth7/reactD3resources

I would very much like to get your PRs there, thank you!

@kangax's ES6 quiz, explained

@kangax created a new interesting quiz, this time devoted to ES6 (aka ES2015). I found this quiz very interesting and quite hard (made myself 3 mistakes on first pass).

Here we go with the explanations:

Question 1:

(function(x, f = () =&gt; x) {

Note:

When this guide is more complete, the plan is to move it into Prepack documentation.
For now I put it out as a gist to gather initial feedback.

A Gentle Introduction to Prepack (Part 1)

If you're building JavaScript apps, you might already be familiar with some tools that compile JavaScript code to equivalent JavaScript code:

Babel lets you use newer JavaScript language features, and outputs equivalent code that targets older JavaScript engines.

	#!/bin/sh -e
	#
	# NOTE: Since Docker 1.10 (February 4, 2016), it has been possible to configure the
	# Docker daemon using a JSON config file. On Linux, this file is normally located at
	# /etc/docker/daemon.json. You should use this JSON config method if you are running
	# a version of Docker that is at least 1.10!
	# Here is an example configuration that sets the docker0 bridge IP to 192.168.254.1/24:
	# {
	# "bip": "192.168.254.1/24"
	# }

	// connect() is a function that injects Redux-related props into your component.
	// You can inject data and callbacks that change that data by dispatching actions.
	function connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps) {
	// It lets us inject component as the last step so people can use it as a decorator.
	// Generally you don't need to worry about it.
	return function (WrappedComponent) {
	// It returns a component
	return class extends React.Component {
	render() {
	return (

	function getNoun(number, one, two, five) {
	let n = Math.abs(number);
	n %= 100;
	if (n >= 5 && n <= 20) {
	return five;
	}
	n %= 10;
	if (n === 1) {
	return one;
	}
