Posted : admin | On 30-04-2021

Are you planning to create a static site? Do you want to export the posts from your Ghost blog to Markdown? Well, that's why you probably came here and you might be in a hurry to get your posts to Markdown. So, without much intro, let's dive into the topic and see how to export posts from a Ghost blog to Markdown.

We’ll be using a Node package called ghost-to-md to make the task easy.

You can read below for the most useful aspects of Markdown as it relates to formatting posts in the Rick Steves Travel Forum. Or, try this link for a thorough detailing of Markdown syntax. Bulleted lists: use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens (., +, and -) as list markers.
A nother good news for content loving people is that the social giant Facebook started rolling out support for Rich Text Formatting using Markdown in status updates in profiles, pages, groups and events. It is speculated that it's been rolled out only to a few users before rolling out en masse.

I think for now your best bet is just to embed markdown into JS files as string literals. You can use interpolation (ES6 template strings) to inject image URLs in them which you can obtain by importing images. You can even create files that export solely string literals and name them.md.js to make their role clear. Does this solve your use case? Markdown in Facebook Event posts through Graph API.
