md-to-txtlisted

# Md To Txt Strip all Markdown formatting and produce clean plain text. Useful for clipboard export, email body fallback, accessibility, and as input to text analysis tools. ## Quick Start ```bash node .github/skills/md-to-txt/scripts/md-to-txt.cjs source.md output.txt ``` ## Options | Flag | Default | Effect | |---|---|---| | `--wrap N` | 80 | Line wrap width (0 = no wrap) | | `--strip-frontmatter` | off | Remove YAML frontmatter | | `--strip-mermaid` | off | Replace Mermaid blocks with `[diagram]` | | `--strip-images` | off | Replace image refs with alt text | | `--no-replace-em-dashes` | em-dashes ARE replaced for txt | Keep `—` literal | | `--strip-decorative-rules` | HRs preserved for txt | Strip decorative `---` lines | ## Format-Aware Defaults Plain text gets: - **Em-dash → `, ` ON.** AI-tell em-dashes look bad in monospace fonts. - **Decorative HR strip OFF.** Pandoc renders `---` as visible plain-text dividers, which are usually intentional in txt output. Override via flags above. ## What gets stripped - Bold, italic, strikethrough markers - Inline code backticks - Link URLs (alt text preserved) - Heading `#` markers - Bullet/list markers (indentation preserved) ## Related - [lint-clean-markdown](../lint-clean-markdown/SKILL.md) — pre-flight the source - [md-to-word](../md-to-word/SKILL.md) — for formatted output ## Would Revise If Revisit this skill by **2026-08-26** (90 days) or sooner if any of the following fires: pandoc upstream changes plain-text
