How to convert Markdown to Word

  1. Drop the file.
  2. Nothing to choose.
  3. Press Convert and download.

What happens to your file

The Markdown is read by pandoc (GitHub flavour: tables, task lists, strikethrough, fenced code) and written as DOCX with Word’s own heading, list and code styles, so the document’s navigation pane and table of contents work.

Images referenced by URL are not fetched; images by relative path are not available either — the DOCX keeps the reference text.

Questions

Does it keep code blocks?

Yes, as a monospaced "Source Code" style; syntax colouring is not carried over.

Do it once, not on every form

Fixing a file here means downloading it and going back to the form. The Fylane extension does this work inside the form instead, on the file you already have.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.

Filmed from the extension: three upload fields on a job application, filled from one tap.

Add to Chrome — freeWhat it does

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "convert",
    "options": {
      "to": "docx"
    }
  }'

The same operation, convert — Documents into another document format: Office, text and HTML to PDF by default, or by `to` into docx, odt, rtf, txt, html, xlsx, ods, csv, pptx, odp, md or epub (Markdown and EPUB through pandoc). Images to WebP. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
