Question

is there an easy way to transform HTML into markdown with JAVA?

I am currently using the Java MarkdownJ library to transform markdown to html.

Answer 1

Use this XSLT.

If you need help using XSLT and Java here's a code snippet:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        File xsltFile = new File("mardownXSLT.xslt");

        Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(new StringReader(theHTML));
        Source xsltSource = new StreamSource(xsltFile);

        TransformerFactory transFact =
                TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        Transformer trans = transFact.newTransformer(xsltSource);

        StringWriter result = new StringWriter();
        trans.transform(xmlSource, new StreamResult(result));
    }
