Turns all HTML docs in a directory into Markdown Files

html_to_md.sh

# Based of md_to_rst.sh script written by https://gist.github.com/hugorodgerbrown
# This script was created to convert a directory full
# of html files into md equivalents. It uses
# pandoc to do the conversion.
#
# 1. Install pandoc from http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/
# 2. Copy this script into the directory containing the .html files
# 3. Ensure that the script has execute permissions
# 4. Run the script
#
# By default this will keep the original .html file



FILES=*.html
for f in $FILES
do
  # extension="${f##*.}"
  filename="${f%.*}"
  echo "Converting $f to $filename.md"
  `pandoc $f -t markdown -o ../mds/$filename.md`
  # uncomment this line to delete the source file.
  # rm $f
