Markdown to HTML
Converts markdown files to self-contained, styled HTML optimized for copying into Google Docs. Tables get proper borders, code blocks are styled, and images are embedded.
Usage
Run the script via bunx:
bash
bunx ~/nixos-config/modules/programs/claude-code/skills/md-to-html/md-to-html.ts "<markdown-file>"
