How to run examples Leave feedback

We offer multiple solutions on how you can run GroupDocs.Markdown examples, by building your own or using our back-end or front-end examples.

You can build a project from scratch using Visual Studio or .NET CLI. We’ll step you through both cases.

1. Make sure you have .NET SDK installed https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download.
2. Create a directory for your console app by executing the mkdir my-console-app command in your terminal.
3. Navigate to the my-console-app directory by executing the cd my-console-app command.
4. Create an empty console app by executing the dotnet new console command.
5. Add the GroupDocs.Markdown for .NET package by executing the dotnet add package GroupDocs.Markdown command.
6. Edit Program.cs and add the following lines to the Main method:

  using GroupDocs.Markdown;

  string documentPath = @"C:\sample.docx"; // NOTE: Put here actual path for your document
  string outputPath = @"C:\output\converted.md";

  using (var converter = new MarkdownConverter(documentPath))
  {
  	converter.Convert(CoutputPath);
  }

7. Replace the documentPath value with the actual path to the document you’re going to convert.
8. Run the project by executing the dotnet run command.
9. The converted document will be saved in the C:\\output\\ directory.

1. Open Visual Studio and go to File -> New -> Project.

  string outputPath = @"C:\output\converted.md";

  using (var converter = new MarkdownConverter(documentPath))
  {
  	converter.Convert(CoutputPath);
  }

5. Replace the documentPath value with the actual path to the document you’re going to convert.
