Medium to markdown

Convert your medium articles from their html format to markdown. A deep copy of your data can be made, including images.

Example

An example input and output are located in the example directory.

Usage

1. Go to your medium account and request a copy of your data.

2. Look for the posts directory where your articles are located in html format.

3. Execute:

   python run.py convert --posts-dir <PATH_TO_POSTS> --output-dir <DESIRED_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY>
   

   to convert the posts into the output directory in Markdown format.

   The default posts directory is posts and the default output directory is output.

   The convert command executes the following commands:

   convert_html_to_md(args)
   download_imgs(args, cover_img_only=True)
   resize_cover_imgs0(args)
   

   i.e.

   1. Converts HTML in the posts directory to markdown
   2. Downloads the cover images
   3. Resizes the cover images

   You can also run the commands independently:

   python run.py convert-html-to-md
   python run.py download-cover-imgs
   python run.py resize-cover-imgs
