Use GroupDocs.Markdown to convert DOCX and other Word documents to clean Markdown.
The simplest way to convert a Word file:
import com.groupdocs.markdown.*;
import java.io.File;
public class ExportWordStatic {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Set license (optional)
if (new File("GroupDocs.Markdown.lic").exists()) {
License.set("GroupDocs.Markdown.lic");
}
// Convert DOCX to Markdown string
String markdown = MarkdownConverter.toMarkdown("business-plan.docx");
// Or save directly to a file
MarkdownConverter.toFile("business-plan.docx", "export-word-static.md");
}
}
business-plan.docx is a sample file used in this example. Click here to download it.
