Load a file of a specific format Leave feedback
By default, GroupDocs.Markdown detects the file format automatically from the file extension or stream content. When you want to skip auto-detection or the file extension is missing, specify the format explicitly using LoadOptions.
from groupdocs.markdown import MarkdownConverter, LoadOptions, FileFormat
def load_specific_format():
"""Load a file with an explicitly specified format, skipping auto-detection."""
# Step 1: Create load options with the explicit file format
load_options = LoadOptions(FileFormat.XLSX)
# Step 2: Open the file with load options using keyword argument
with MarkdownConverter("cost-analysis.xlsx", load_options=load_options) as converter:
# Step 3: Convert and save the Markdown output
converter.convert("load-specific-format.md")
if __name__ == "__main__":
load_specific_format()
cost-analysis.xlsx is sample file used in this example. Click here to download it.
