HTML Converter
Docs to Markdown converts Google Docs documents to Markdown or HTML through a Google Workspace add-on.
About HTML Converter
Docs to Markdown is an open source Google Docs add-on that converts a Google Doc to Markdown or HTML. It is available in the Google Workspace Marketplace under the name Docs to Markdown. The homepage describes it as free. It can convert a whole document or only a selected part of one, so authors can use Google Docs for editing, formatting, and collaboration before publishing to a Markdown or HTML platform.
The add-on asks for permission to access the current Doc and to create a sidebar, and the homepage states that it requires no other permissions. Headings convert correctly only when the document uses Google Docs heading styles such as Heading 1 and Heading 2. Text that is only bold and large converts as normal paragraphs. The project is released under the Apache 2.0 license and is not currently accepting contributions.
