Export to Markdown

The following example shows you how to export an ODF text document to Markdown format. The SaveAsMarkdown method converts document content to GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), preserving headings, text formatting, tables, hyperlinks, lists, and other elements.

C# example

using System;
using Independentsoft.Office.Odf;

namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Open existing ODF text document
            TextDocument doc = new TextDocument("c:\\test\\input.odt");

            // Export to Markdown
            doc.SaveAsMarkdown("c:\\test\\output.md");

            Console.WriteLine("Document exported to Markdown successfully!");
        }
    }
}

C# example - Get Markdown as string

using System;
using Independentsoft.Office.Odf;

namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            TextDocument doc = new TextDocument("c:\\test\\input.odt");

            // Get Markdown as string
            string markdown = doc.ToMarkdown();

            Console.WriteLine(markdown);
        }
    }
}

VB example

Imports System
Imports Independentsoft.Office.Odf

Module Module1
    Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)

        ' Open existing ODF text document
        Dim doc As TextDocument = New TextDocument("c:\test\input.odt")

        ' Export to Markdown
        doc.SaveAsMarkdown("c:\test\output.md")

        Console.WriteLine("Document exported to Markdown successfully!")

    End Sub
End Module
