convert-contents
Convert documents between formats like Markdown, HTML, PDF, and DOCX. Specify content, output format, and complete file paths for advanced formats to transform and save files.
Instructions
Converts content between different formats. Transforms input content from any supported format into the specified output format.
šØ CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS - PLEASE READ:
PDF Conversion:
You MUST install TeX Live BEFORE attempting PDF conversion:
Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt-get install texlive-xetexmacOS:
brew install texliveWindows: Install MiKTeX or TeX Live from https://miktex.org/ or https://tug.org/texlive/
PDF conversion will FAIL without this installation
File Paths - EXPLICIT REQUIREMENTS:
When asked to save or convert to a file, you MUST provide:
Complete directory path
Filename
File extension
Example request: 'Write a story and save as PDF'
You MUST specify: '/path/to/story.pdf' or 'C:\Documents\story.pdf'
The tool will NOT automatically generate filenames or extensions
File Location After Conversion:
After successful conversion, the tool will display the exact path where the file is saved
Look for message: 'Content successfully converted and saved to: [file_path]'
You can find your converted file at the specified location
If no path is specified, files may be saved in system temp directory (/tmp/ on Unix systems)
For better control, always provide explicit output file paths
Supported formats:
Basic formats: txt, html, markdown
Advanced formats (REQUIRE complete file paths): pdf, docx, rst, latex, epub
ā CORRECT Usage Examples:
'Convert this text to HTML' (basic conversion)
Tool will show converted content
'Save this text as PDF at /documents/story.pdf'
Correct: specifies path + filename + extension
Tool will show: 'Content successfully converted and saved to: /documents/story.pdf'
ā INCORRECT Usage Examples:
'Save this as PDF in /documents/'
Missing filename and extension
'Convert to PDF'
Missing complete file path
When requesting conversion, ALWAYS specify:
The content or input file
The desired output format
For advanced formats: complete output path + filename + extension Example: 'Convert this markdown to PDF and save as /path/to/output.pdf'
Note: After conversion, always check the success message for the exact file location.
