Export to Markdown about slackdump HOT 3 OPEN

I could certainly look into this in future.

Had a look at what's there in the internets, found this app: https://github.com/ohtake/slack2md that converts slack export to markdown files.

I ran it for the export of my slack workspace and it generated a bunch of MD files:

-rw-r--r--  1 rustam  wheel    100 Jul 23 11:56 channel--everyone.md
-rw-r--r--  1 rustam  wheel    104 Jul 23 11:56 channel--everything.md
-rw-r--r--  1 rustam  wheel    246 Jul 23 11:56 channel--random.md
-rw-r--r--  1 rustam  wheel    100 Jul 23 11:56 channel--wakatime.md
-rw-r--r--  1 rustam  wheel    481 Jul 23 11:56 history--everyone--1.md

Have you tried it?

Thanks for the reply :) My goal is to turn a Slack thread to a wiki page for documentation purpose.

slack2md includes the messages author & time, which is a lot of noise.

@jmgarnier nice idea! I don't think I completely understand how it should look like? Could you elaborate more please?

When you say "thread" - are you referring to a Slack thread replies, or the whole Conversation (channel messages + thread messages)?

Should it have the same format as current "text mode" dump, only in Markdown?
