Converter.MarkdownToBBCodeSteam.Tool 1.0.0.17

Converter.MarkdownToBBCode

Converts Markdown and HTML (GitHub flavor) into NexusMods and Steam BBCode flavor. Might be opionated with the HTML conversion, since there are a few ways to interpret HTML

Installation

dotnet tool install -g Converter.MarkdownToBBCodeNM.Tool
dotnet tool install -g Converter.MarkdownToBBCodeSteam.Tool

Usage

When installed as a global tool:

# NexusMods
markdown_to_bbcodenm -i "**raw markdown**"
markdown_to_bbcodenm -i "~~raw\r\nmarkdown~~" --disableextended

markdown_to_bbcodenm -i "/markdown.md";
markdown_to_bbcodenm -i "/markdown.md" -o "/bbcode.txt";

# Steam
markdown_to_bbcodesteam -i "**raw markdown**"
markdown_to_bbcodesteam -i "~~raw\r\nmarkdown~~" --disableextended

markdown_to_bbcodesteam -i "/markdown.md";
markdown_to_bbcodesteam -i "/markdown.md" -o "/bbcode.txt";

-i or --input accepts both raw markdown and a file path.
-o or --output accepts a file path. If specified, will write the converted BBCode to the file instead of outputting to the console.
-d or --disableextended will disable newline detection via two spaces and will disable HTML conversion

Example

At the time of writing the tool, it was used to keep in sync the description of the BLSE mod for Bannerlord.
BLSE - GitHub → NexusMods
