terminal-markdown

The terminal-markdown package (and included md2ascii command line tool) parses a subset of markdown (shown below) for rendering to the terminal.

This package only supports esm imports.

To use as a package:

const ast = await parseFile(filename);
const result = render(ast);
if (result.ok) {
  console.log(result.content);
} else {
  console.error(result.reason);
  process.exit(1);
}

To use md2ascii:

md2ascii <filename>

The output is printed to the terminal. To save to a file, use shell redirection (>); for example:

md2ascii <filename> > <outfile>
