What @mdgate/text extracts

  • .txt / .text: paragraphs
  • .md / .markdown / .mdx: passed through as Markdown
  • Source extensions: wrapped in a fenced code block

Why @mdgate/text

Runs where your JavaScript runs

No separate processing service. The converter is TypeScript you can call from Node.js, Cloudflare Workers, Edge runtimes, and browsers.

Local conversion

C files can stay inside your application or browser.

Content detection

Recognizes C files from their contents, not only the filename.

Deterministic parsing

The same C file produces repeatable Markdown without model inference.

Small runtime surface

No Python. No native addons. No WASM. No third-party runtime dependencies.

C for AI agents

Turn C files into content your agent can actually work with.

FAQ

Can I convert C to Markdown without uploading it?

Yes. C files can be converted locally in the browser.

Does C to Markdown work in Cloudflare Workers?

Yes. @mdgate/text runs directly in Cloudflare Workers.

Does it require Python?

No.

Does it require native addons or WASM?

No.

What does it output?

GitHub-Flavored Markdown.

Can I install only the C converter?

Yes. Install @mdgate/text instead of the complete converter set.

Why pass a path?

The path selects treatment (paragraphs, pass-through Markdown, or a code fence). It is never used to read a file from disk.
