.Docx to .md raw text

[Justus Caspers]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert a .docx file to an .md file. Goal of the transformation is a exacte converation of the text from the Word file to the markdown file.

The word file looks like:

---
indicator: 3.c.1
layout: indicator
indicator_sort_order: '0260'
permalink: /3-c-1/
sdg_goal: '3'
---

If in convert the file with pandoc the result is:

\-\--
indicator: 3.c.1
layout: indicator
indicator\_sort\_order: \'0260\'
permalink: /3-c-1/
sdg\_goal: \'3\'
\-\--

Is there a option to prevent the addition of the backslashes?

Thx in advance for the help!

If you want markdown output, you need the backslash
escapes, since characters like - will otherwise be
interpreted in ways you don't intend. (E.g., in
pandoc markdown, --- will turn into an em dash.)

If you just want the text, have you tried `-t plain`?
