N.A.N.Y. 2024 / NANY 2024 - WordStar to Markdown converter
« on: August 25, 2023, 08:47 PM »
While mouser plays games, I learned how to write a parser.
Description
This is a small utility that converts WordStar (.ws) into Markdown (.md) files. I wrote it because the WordPress input field sucks, so now I can write my blog posts in a real text processing software, then convert them into Markdown and upload them with one of the gazillion Markdown-to-WordPress converters. There is no good Markdown editor either, I'm afraid.
Features
Can convert (basic) WordStar files into Markdown.
Planned Features
A couple of (non-Markdown-compliant) dot commands are not supported (= detected as dot commands) yet. Maybe I'll push an update. Or I'll just wait for contributions.
Screenshots
Usage
Installation
Using the Application
Uninstallation
Tips
Yes, please.
Known Issues
Complex WordStar documents might still spawn dot commands in your text. See "Planned Features" for the reason.
