Slack flavored Markdown about reverse_markdown HOT 6 OPEN

Hi @RummanSadiq,

I'd say it depends on how big the differences between "normal" markdown and slack-flavored are.
Do they ignore other markdown or do we really have to unregister existing converters? Are there any other differences in the handling of the nodes itself?

Anyway it would be great to get you started on open source, so please feel free to submit a PR, we can discuss implementation detail there, right?

I ended up rolling my own. But I do not own the code, so there is nothing I can share. 😞

@xijo thoughts?

I also need to conver HTML to Slack's "mrkdwn". I was just trying to figure out whether I should roll my own, improve https://github.com/everwise/slack_transformer or add a Slack flavor to reverse_markdown.

I would be very curious to see what you did, @RummanSadiq.

@xijo, Slack's markup is quite different from Markdown, although they look very similar at first glance. For example:

• **bold** in markdown is *bold* in Slack
• Slack does not support headers
• Slack does not support lists
• [name](https://google.com) in markdown is <https://google.com|name> in Slack

Some markup works the same, like `code`, ~strike~, _italic_ and > blockquote.

Hey @gabrielmdeal,

Did you ever get anywhere with your need to convert HTML to Mrkdwn?

I have the same need now and the only libraries available (like slack_transformer) haven't been touched in 3+ years.

Thanks!
