Is there any direct api to using built-in input and output plugins in new plugin?

The_book · 03-21-2020, 08:42 AM

I have an idea. Create an input plugin and a output plugin to deal markdown. This two plugin do exactly what txt plugin dose, just aim to auto convert .md file, because I am somehow tired to rename file from txt to md everytime. What can I do to start? Is there any direct api to using built-in input and output plugins in new plugin?

If you look at the implementation of the TXTZ Output plugin in txt_output.py you can see an example of basing one conversion plugin on another.
