Sparse README means you may need to read the source code or OpenBook API docs for full JSON schema details.

in plain english

md2ob is a small tool that takes Markdown files and turns them into a structured JSON format that the OpenBook platform can use to compile books. If you've written content in Markdown and want to feed it into OpenBook to produce a book, this library handles the conversion for you. At a practical level, you pass it one or more Markdown files and it returns either a successful book object along with any warnings, or a set of errors if something went wrong. The README doesn't go into detail about what specific Markdown features are supported beyond what's shown in a short example, which includes headings, descriptions, bullet lists, nested bullets, and quoted questions. The main audience is developers building custom front-end or back-end clients that interact with the OpenBook API. The project is maintained by Botpress and is already used in their OpenBook Playground web app, so anyone building a similar tool can use this library to ensure their Markdown parsing stays consistent with Botpress's own format. It's a TypeScript package distributed through npm, which means it's designed for JavaScript or TypeScript projects. The README is quite sparse, it covers installation, a basic usage snippet, and not much else, so you'd likely need to look at the source code or the OpenBook API documentation to understand the full JSON schema it produces and how to handle more complex Markdown structures.

prompts (copy fr)

prompt 1
Install md2ob in my TypeScript project and show me a minimal example that parses a Markdown file with headings, a description, nested bullets, and a quoted question into OpenBook JSON.
prompt 2
Using md2ob, write a small script that reads one or more Markdown files, calls the conversion function, and logs either the returned book object and warnings or the error set.
prompt 3
Create a simple back-end endpoint in TypeScript that accepts a Markdown string, uses md2ob to convert it, and returns the OpenBook JSON or errors to the caller.
prompt 4
Show me how to handle the warnings and errors returned by md2ob so I can surface them to users in a front-end before sending the JSON to the OpenBook API.
