Convert Markdown to DOCX in Python

Markdown conversions to other formats go through an intermediate Markdown to HTML conversion stage. To convert Markdown to DOCX, you should follow a few steps:

  1. Prepare a source Markdown document. In the example, we create a Markdown file from code.
  2. Convert Markdown to HTML. Use the convert_markdown() method to save Markdown as an HTML document.
  3. Use one of the convert_html() methods and pass to it the HTMLDocument, DocSaveOptions, and output file path.

If your case is to create a Markdown document from a user string directly in your code and convert it to a DOCX file, the following example could help you:

 1uimport os
 2from aspose.html import *
 3from aspose.html.saving import *
 4from aspose.html.converters import *
 5
 6# Prepare a path to a source Markdown file
 7output_dir = "output/"
 8source_path = os.path.join(output_dir, "document.md")
 9
10# Prepare a simple Markdown example
11code = "### Hello, World!\nConvert Markdown to DOCX!"
12
13# Create a Markdown file
14with open(source_path, "w") as file:
15    file.write(code)
16
17# Prepare a path to save the converted file
18save_path = os.path.join(output_dir, "document-output.docx")
19
20# Convert Markdown to HTML document
21document = Converter.convert_markdown(source_path)
22
23# Convert HTML document to DOCX file format
24Converter.convert_html(document, DocSaveOptions(), save_path)

Convert Markdown to DOCX using DocSaveOptions

The process of converting Markdown to DOCX can be flexibly customized. The DocSaveOptions class is a powerful configuration tool that allows you to fine-tune converting HTML documents to the DOCX format. It includes the following properties:

The following code snippet shows how to convert Markdown to DOCX with custom save options:

 1import os
 2from aspose.html import *
 3from aspose.html.converters import *
 4from aspose.html.saving import *
 5from aspose.html.drawing import *
 6
 7# Setup directories and define paths
 8output_dir = "output/"
 9input_dir = "data/"
10if not os.path.exists(output_dir):
11    os.makedirs(output_dir)
12document_path = os.path.join(input_dir, "document.md")
13save_path = os.path.join(output_dir, "document.docx")
14
15# Convert Markdown to HTML
16document = Converter.convert_markdown(document_path)
17
18# Create an instance of DocSaveOptions
19options = DocSaveOptions()
20options.document_format.DOCX
21options.page_setup.any_page = Page(Size(600, 800), Margin(10, 10, 10, 10))
22options.font_embedding_rule.FULL
23
24# Convert Markdown to DOCX
25Converter.convert_html(document, options, save_path)

In the example, we use the document_format, page_setup, and font_embedding_rule properties. To learn more about DocSaveOptions, please read the Fine-Tuning Converters article.
