Styles and considerations

You have to define styles in you word document in order to use Markdown **Headers/titles**, **Hyperlinks**, **Code formatting**, **Arrays**, **Unordered List**.

This styles are either standard markdown or come from extended markdown : https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax/

• Emphasis (italic) *Text* or _Text_: converts to word italic

• Strong Emphasis (Bold) **Text** or __Text__: converts to word bold

• Strike through (Strike) ~~Strike~~ : converts to word strike through style

• Highlight (==highlight==) `==Highlight==' : converts to word Yellow highlight.

• Header # MarkdownHeader1 to ###### MarkdownHeader6:

  • Must be in alone in a paragraph. IF NOT, the rest will be erased.
  • It will use the document style named "Header" by default.
  • You can specify another style by giving the style dictionnary as last arg for both functions.
  • E.g : res, msg = convertMarkdownInFile("examples/in_document.docx", "examples/out_document.docx", {"Header":"style_name"})

• (EXTENDED SYNTAX FOR WORD) Change font color <color:FF0000> this text will be very red because the color is in RGB format</color> or <span style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);> REd colored text </span>

• Inline Code `Text` (my code):

  • It will use the document style named "Code" (Caracter format) by default.
  • You can specify another style by giving the style dictionnary as last arg for both functions.
