cnxml2md v0.1.1

cnxml2md

Compile OpenStax textbook CNXML files to Markdown format.

I created this because OpenStax doesn't support other eReader devices besides Kindle, and Markdown is readable as well as easily transpilable into other formats like HTML, MOBI, etc. I also tend to have weird motivations.

Installation

npm install -g cnxml2md

Use

Download a .zip version of a textbook from OpenStax, which should contain directories for each chapter of said textbook along with images and .cnxml files.

Inside the unzipped directory, run cnxml2md.

Notes

Doesn't support every CNXML element yet, and only has been tested on Biology 1.10. I suspect it will definitely fail with any mathematics textbook. But the basic concept is there for textbooks mostly made up of paragraphs and figures.
