Markdown to HTML

Converts markdown files to self-contained, styled HTML optimized for copying into Google Docs. Tables get proper borders, code blocks are styled, and images are embedded.

Usage

Run the script via bunx:

Copybunx ~/nixos-config/modules/programs/claude-code/skills/md-to-html/md-to-html.ts "<markdown-file>"

What it does

1. Converts markdown to HTML via pandoc (uses nix run if not installed)
2. Applies clean, modern CSS (system fonts, bordered tables, styled code blocks)
3. Embeds all images as base64 (self-contained)
4. Opens the result in the default browser
5. User can then Cmd+A, Cmd+C, paste into Google Docs

Output

• Creates /tmp/<filename>.html
• Opens in browser automatically

CSS Features

• System fonts (SF Pro, Segoe UI, etc.)
• Tables: auto-width, 1px borders, grey headers
• Code blocks: light grey background, rounded corners
• Blockquotes: left border accent
• Images: max-width 100%
• Reasonable max-width container (900px)

Notes

• Requires pandoc (script will use nix run nixpkgs#pandoc as fallback)
• Images in markdown must be accessible from the markdown file's directory
• Best results when copying from Safari/Chrome to Google Docs
