pandoc: Force conversion to use a specific format.
$ pandoc ${input-docx} --to ${gfm} -o ${output-md}

This command is using pandoc, a powerful document conversion tool, to convert a DOCX file to markdown format. Here's a breakdown of the command:

pandoc: The command to run the pandoc tool.

${input-docx}: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the path or name of the input DOCX file you want to convert. It specifies the input file's location.

--to: This flag is used to specify the output format. In this case, ${gfm} is used as a placeholder again, which should be replaced with the desired output format, which stands for GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM).

-o: This flag is used to specify the output file path or name. ${output-md} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired output file location.

To use this command, you will need to replace ${input-docx} with the actual path or name of the DOCX file you want to convert, replace ${gfm} with "gfm" if you want the output in GitHub-Flavored Markdown format, and replace ${output-md} with the desired output file path or name.
