# markit

Convert anything to Markdown.

## CLI

```bash
# Convert a file
npx @shiftlabs/markit report.pdf -q

# Convert a URL
npx @shiftlabs/markit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown -q

# GitHub URLs (repos, files, gists, issues, PRs)
npx @shiftlabs/markit https://github.com/owner/repo -q
npx @shiftlabs/markit https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/42 -q
npx @shiftlabs/markit https://gist.github.com/user/id -q

# Write to file
npx @shiftlabs/markit document.docx -q -o output.md

# See all options
npx @shiftlabs/markit --help

# See supported formats
npx @shiftlabs/markit formats
```

`-q` gives raw markdown. `--json` gives `{ markdown, title }`.

## SDK

```typescript
import { Markit } from "@shiftlabs/markit";

const markit = new Markit();
const { markdown } = await markit.convertFile("report.pdf");
const { markdown } = await markit.convertUrl("https://example.com");
const { markdown } = await markit.convert(buffer, { extension: ".docx" });
