Load from a local disk Leave feedback
GroupDocs.Markdown provides two ways to load a file from a local disk: the static one-liner API and the instance-based API.
The simplest approach – pass a file path and get the Markdown string back:
from groupdocs.markdown import MarkdownConverter
def load_from_disk_static():
"""Load and convert a local file to Markdown using the static API."""
# Convert a local file directly to a Markdown file on disk
MarkdownConverter.to_file("business-plan.docx", "load-disk-static.md")
if __name__ == "__main__":
load_from_disk_static()
business-plan.docx is sample file used in this example. Click here to download it.
, create a MarkdownConverter instance:
from groupdocs.markdown import MarkdownConverter
def load_from_disk_instance():
"""Load a local file with the instance API, then convert it."""
# Step 1: Open the document with a context manager
with MarkdownConverter("business-plan.docx") as converter:
# Step 2: Convert to Markdown and save the result
converter.convert("load-disk-instance.md")
if __name__ == "__main__":
load_from_disk_instance()
business-plan.docx is sample file used in this example. Click here to download it.
