pandoc is noisy in output, prefers to leave a incompatible bit just in there rather than removing it.
What are you talking about?
Save a random website, convert the html to markdown.
Given that HTML supports significantly more formatting than markdown, it's completely unsurprising that any conversion is imperfect, this is not a flaw in pandoc, it's simply not possible.
I'll also point out that I was suggesting that OP starts with markdown and converts that to a required output format using pandoc. The barrier to entry is significantly less than using LaTeX for example.
Sure it's possible. Different markup languages have different levels of features: some like Markdown only very basic elements, some like asciidoc, orgmode, docbook, html, more differrentiated. There's 3 approaches converting from complexer to simpler formats:
- list, figure + figcaption to![]() *caption*, stuff like that)I know of Typora doing a good job with the convenient approach, though still partially lossless.
Sylpheed (E-Mail client) does a good job at the lossy approach, for plain text display of html.
pandoc does the lossless approach well. But it laso depends on which of the multitude of markdown outputs you've picked.
edit: Could Voyager please stop sanitizing markdown image links in inline code?!
Markdown and HTML are both examples of markup languages but that doesn't mean that the words are interchangeable.
It is not possible under any circumstance to represent all that HTML supports within markdown.
Which is why, converting to similiar representation.
You've read only the first sentence of my answer, right?
I read all of it multiple times, before and after editing, and it's clear to me that we're failing to communicate.
