Are there any good scripts or tools I can use to convert Markdown so it looks good in Google Docs.
ChatGPT creates markdown as an output and I want to convert this to a nice looking document using the chatGPT functions.
the chatgpt.com can do it… but appears to be elusive in the API assistant area… any clues welcome as I am totally stuck!
I created some code. It is not perfect, but might help others till we can have the marked or other functions in pipedream that do it more eloquently

type: “string”,
label: “Markdown Content”,
},
},

const markdownContent = this.markdownContent;
const lines = markdownContent.split(“\n”);
