Thank you. 

Background: I have several hundred gdocs that I want to convert to markdown. I will then clean up the documents in markdown and convert from md to HTML. 

What I have been trying to **avoid** is having to open all of the gdocs one by one and then have to save them as a docx one by one. I am trying to get from gdoc -> markdown  as easily as possible

THX!

What do you want to batch process? The downloading or the translation with pandoc?

For batch translation you can use something like this:

find <subdir> -name "*.docx" -exec sh -c 'f=`printf "%q" \{}`;  pandoc --from docx --to md --output=<subdir>/${f%.*}.md $f' \; -print

Just download them as DOCX (the gdoc download mechanism has an option for that) and convert those DOCX files. I do it "all the time" (I don't use gdoc myself but my collaborators do). Uploading DOCX to gdoc is also a breeze.

I have a whole bunch of google docs in a folder. Let say 20 files for the time being, I have a lot more than that, but in one directory there are twenty files.

I want to convert all of these files from .gdoc to .md

1. I didn't see any way for pandoc to do this, is there a way?

2. Is there a way to batch process this? I don't want to have to go into every google doc and save as, and then convert

Lastly, what tools are you using to collaborate in MD. are you putting things into github? If so are you using the Github editor or another editor. I was using StackEdit, but it doesn't look like it is being supported. 

Thanks
