The piCorePlayer Documentation source is mostly written in Markdown. So sometimes it is necessary to convert existing HTML pages into Markdown using an online service for inclusion in the documentation.

Steps

Step 1 - Copy HTML source
  • In the web page, select View source (ctrl+u in Edge)
  • Copy the HTML code by:
    • Clicking on the HTML window to set focus.
    • Highlight all source (ctrl+a).
    • Copy highlighted source (ctrl+c).
Step 2 - Convert HTML to Markdown
  • Open Turndown—click Turndown - HTML to Markdown.
    • Set Heading style to atx.
    • Set Bullet to -.
    • Set Code block style to fenced.
  • Paste source in left HTML window (ctrl+v).
  • Copy result from right MARKDOWN window (ctrl+a, ctrl+c).
Step 3 - Tidy up Markdown
  • Paste into text editor (ctrl+c).
  • Remove head and trailing rubbish.
