I have a Word document that contains a TOC, various headings level 1, 2 & 3, some tables and some images.

When I export to .MD using pandoc -f docx -t markdown the resultant .MD when viewed in Chrome has no images. Instead, I see something like {width="6.268055555555556in" height="3.2933442694663166in"} but no actual image.

Do I have to add a tag to the images for Pandoc to export them out?

  • Did you try with --extract-media=media? Commented Jul 11, 2023 at 14:18

  • How do the images exactly look in the Markdown after that? Is the media folder created? Commented Jul 11, 2023 at 14:43
  • No different, still just {width} and {height} tags and no sub-dir. Commented Jul 11, 2023 at 14:44
  • What about --extract-media=.? If still nothing, what kind of images are these? Commented Jul 11, 2023 at 14:53

So I managed to get this working by passing in --extract-media="c:\help\output" which creates a sub-directory of \media.

The MD file then has a path to the image as ![](c:\help\output/media/image1.png) so I have to then change the path in the MD to ![alt text](media/image1.png).

The image then loads in the browser.

EDIT: I later found out that by using -t markdown_mmd I don't need to edit the path to the file.

Kudos to @Destroy666 for the assist.

  • one can also specify --extract-media="./" which then creates relative paths directly. Commented Jan 24, 2024 at 14:51
