In this case, all we need is the first few kb to get the metadata from a

Converting a Word Document to Markdown in One Move

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.

Installing Pandoc

On a mac you can use homebrew by running the command brew install pandoc.

The Solution

#Get the number of frames from the gif: 
identify -format "%n\n" path/to/file.gif | head -1
#Use gifsicle to cut frames. replace 99 with total frames. 
gifsicle -U input.gif `seq -f "#%g" 0 2 99` -O2 -o output.gif

#Delay gif via gifsicle by first finding the delay between frames, double it
gifsicle -I input.gif
#Proceed to delay. Replace 50 with the doubled number
gifsicle --delay 50 in.gif > out.gif
