ToHTML() or ToMarkup() Function for strings

[Paul_Danyliuk]

One way to achieve this is to manipulate the inner object structure.

Each formatted cell has:

• multi-line text (delimited by \n)
• info about spans (for span-level formatting like bold and color)
• info about lines (for paragraph-level formatting like list type)

so with enough tenacity it’s possible to compose HTML/Markdown out of a formatted cell.

Here’s one example of manipulating inner object structure:

Pro hack: Convert checklist to separate rows

I was playing around with the idea of being able to enter meeting notes in a Big Cell mode, and then quickly convert those into separate rows in a Tasks table. Here’s what I managed to do: [ezgif.com-optimize (72)] This is a hacky solution that relies on deep object modification (props to @Filmos). I added the logic to include sub-lists etc when copying each task. reducing nesting level by one. I haven’t implemented the way to preserve character-level formatting (bold, color etc) because that…

Also cross-doc pulls in formatted text as markdown (I’m not 100% sure though, but I remember seeing some evidence of that); so by examining inner object structure perhaps it’s possible to extract markdown and convert to HTML with any markdown-to-HTML converter.
