We’ve been in hardcore documentation mode at my day job for the last few weeks. Unfortunately, this means that I’m spending a lot of time in Microsoft Word. (I know I could be using OpenOffice or NeoOffice. I just don’t like working in word processors, in general.) I would much prefer to be working in Vim. Today, the itch got bad enough to require scratching, so I wrote a little Ruby script that converts a Markdown document into a full HTML document. Because the managers are expecting me to produce Word documents, I added a style block so that things can be tweaked to look good in Word.
If you try it out, I’d appreciate feedback.
