The developer for our new WordPress site is requesting that we submitt a large portion of our new text content formatted in Markdown. Unforunately, Workfront proofing does not accept .md files and I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a workflow to support reviewing and approving the Markdown content in Workfront?

Interesting Rayma,

I am intrigued, and am investigating. If I make any progress with the latter, I'll let you know.

Regards,

Doug

Back again (aready) Rayma,

Although what I really meant by investigating was "investigating a way to upload Markdown files into have them render (usefully) in ProofHQ", what I inadvertently discovered was this workaround, in case it is Good Enough For Now for you:

copy the entire contents of a given Markdown file
navigate to https://markdowntohtml.com
paste those contents, convert them to HTML, then copy the resulting HTML
paste that HTML content into a new file and save it as an HTML file; optionally including the original Markdown file's contents as text (e.g. at the end, as text, by convention)
upload the HTML file into ProofHQ as a "proxy" for the Markdown file

Regards,

Doug

Regarding the issue of reviewing and approving Markdown formatted text content in Workfront, you might consider an alternative solution.

You can copy the entire content of the Markdown file and navigate to the website https://www.tomarkdown.org. There, you can paste the content and convert it into HTML in real-time, then download the HTML file.
