How to export selected Medium article content as Markdown
A Markdown export helps keep supplied article text in a form that can be annotated and reviewed. It should retain the structure and references that explain the author's argument.
Start with the right material.
- What you provide
- an accessible readable Medium article excerpt.
- The intended result
- Selected accessible article content as Markdown.
How the workflow works.
Preserve headings, lists and links from the readable selection. Keep quoted passages distinguishable and state when the supplied material covers only an excerpt.
What to check in the result.
Compare the output with the source before using or citing it. The workflow does not supply inaccessible text or establish permission to republish an article beyond the use you are authorized to make.
Preview the Markdown to check headings, lists and links as well as the words. Keep source references with the document so a reviewer can trace important statements back to the material you supplied.
Learn from the worked example.
The downloadable Markdown example shows one possible organization of the result. Read it alongside the source example and notice which statements are recorded facts, proposed wording or questions still needing an answer.
The supplied example is illustrative. It is not a recorded run on your data.
