markdown_to_glmf.py

"""Convert from Markdown to OpenOffice for Linux Magazine.

Requirements:

* Python 3+ (doesn't seem to work on Python 2 because of odfpy)
* Latest IPython and Jupyter

Installation:

    pip install ipymd
    pip install odfpy
    git clone https://gist.github.com/99a2316465c84192b630.git md2glmf
    cd md2glmf

Usage:

    python markdow_to_glmf.py somedocument.md

This generates `somedocument.odt`.

Note: the conversion code lives in the ipymd repo at https://github.com/rossant/ipymd

I made several updates and added an example on my fork of this gist: https://gist.github.com/Pierstoval/7fe41732e22810e422388010ac2c0c91/revisions

Maybe this should become a single repository, to accept PRs 😉

Could be added in repository «outils auteurs».

@Pierstoval Done! https://github.com/rossant/odt-linux-mag
Please feel free to propose PRs.
I should point out that I no longer support this code but I'll happily merge pull requests on the GitHub repository.
Thanks for your contributions!

@rossant Here it is: rossant/odt-linux-mag#1

Thanks for your work
