Render EPUB to MARKDOWN on Android via Java
Convert EPUB to MARKDOWN in mobile apps without installing any software
Why to Convert
Integrating EPUB to MARKDOWN conversion feature in mobile apps can be beneficial for developers. MARKDOWN is a lightweight markup language which is used to format plain text documents. It is easy to read and write and is widely used for creating web content. By converting EPUB to MARKDOWN, developers can easily create web content from EPUB documents.
How Aspose.Total helps for epub to markdown conversion
Aspose.Total for Android Java package provides two APIs which can be used to convert EPUB to MARKDOWN. First, Aspose.PDF for Android via Java can be used to convert EPUB file to DOC. Secondly, Word Processing API Aspose.Words for Android Java can be used to render DOC to MARKDOWN. This way, developers can easily integrate EPUB to MARKDOWN conversion feature in their mobile apps. Aspose.Total for Android Java package also provides other APIs which can be used to create, edit, convert and manipulate various file formats.
Convert EPUB to MARKDOWN on Android via Java
Get Started with Android via Java APIs
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Android via Java directly from Maven and install Aspose.PDF for Android via Java and Aspose.Words for Android via Java in your applications.
Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .
// load EPUB file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.epub");
// save EPUB as a DOC
document.save("DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat.DOC);
// load DOC with an instance of Document
Document outputDocument = new com.aspose.words.Document("DocOutput.doc");
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.MARKDOWN
outputDocument.save("output.markdown", SaveFormat.MARKDOWN);
Get EPUB File Information on Android via Java
Before converting EPUB to MARKDOWN, you might need information about the document including author, creation date, keywords, modify date, subject, and title. This information is helpful for the decision making for the conversion process. Using the powerful Aspose.PDF for Android via Java API, you can get all of it. To get file-specific information about a EPUB file, first get the DocumentInfo object using getInfo method. Once the DocumentInfo object is retrieved, you can get the values of the individual properties.
// load EPUB document
Document doc = new Document("template.epub");
// get document information
DocumentInfo docInfo = doc.getInfo();
// show document information
System.out.println("Author: " + docInfo.getAuthor());
System.out.println("Creation Date: " + docInfo.getCreationDate());
System.out.println("Keywords: " + docInfo.getKeywords());
System.out.println("Modify Date: " + docInfo.getModDate());
System.out.println("Subject: " + docInfo.getSubject());
System.out.println("Title: " + docInfo.getTitle());
Insert Endnotes in MARKDOWN Document in Android Apps
Apart from document conversion, you can also add a bunch of other features inside your Android Applications using Aspose.Words for Android via Java API. One of that feature is inserting endnotes and numbering in MARKDOWN document. If you want to insert a footnote or an endnote in a MARKDOWN document, please use DocumentBuilder.InsertFootnote method. This method inserts a footnote or endnote into the document. EndnoteOptions and FootnoteOptions classes represent numbering options for footnote and endnote.
// load document
Document doc = new Document("input.DOC");
// initialize document builder
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// add text in it
builder.write("Some text");
// insert footnote
builder.insertFootnote(FootnoteType.ENDNOTE, "Endnote text.");
// initialize endnote options
EndnoteOptions option = doc.getEndnoteOptions();
// set restart rule
option.setRestartRule(FootnoteNumberingRule.RESTART_PAGE);
// set position
option.setPosition(EndnotePosition.END_OF_SECTION);
// save the document to disk.
doc.save("output.markdown", SaveFormat.MARKDOWN);
