Overview

What is CHM to Markdown Converter?

A Python utility that converts Compiled HTML Help (.chm) files into clean Markdown. It uses a profile system—a generic profile works with any CHM file, and a revit profile is built for Autodesk Revit API documentation. Designed for developers and technical writers who need a reusable, offline conversion tool.

How to use CHM to Markdown Converter?

Install Python 3.10+ and 7-Zip (must be on PATH). Clone the repository, run pip install -r requirements.txt, place .chm files in the resources/ folder, then execute python chm_to_markdown.py. Use --single, --all, --profile, --preserve-structure, --keep-html, and concurrency tuning flags as needed.

Key features of CHM to Markdown Converter

  • Profile-based conversion with generic or revit profiles
  • Auto‑encoding detection via chardet (UTF-8, GB18030, GBK, GB2312, etc.)
  • Cross‑platform 7‑Zip detection (Windows, Linux, macOS)
  • Flexible CHM structure support (flat, nested, DirectX SDK style)
  • Preserving code blocks with language detection (C#, VB, C++, F#, Python, etc.)
  • Generating file_index.json, id_lookup.json, and index.md for AI integration

Use cases of CHM to Markdown Converter

  • Converting Autodesk Revit API help files to searchable Markdown
  • Extracting any CHM documentation into clean Markdown for version control
  • Feeding converted files into a RAG or AI search pipeline
  • Preserving folder hierarchy for deeply nested CHM structures (e.g., DirectX SDK)
  • Batch converting multiple CHM files with consistent formatting

Frequently asked questions

1

How do I fix “7z not found”?

Install 7-Zip and ensure its executable is on your system PATH. For Windows, the installer adds it by default; on Linux, run `sudo apt install p7zip-full`; on macOS, use `brew install p7zip`.

2

Why is the output empty or no HTML files found?

The CHM may use a nested folder layout. Use the `--preserve-structure` flag to enable recursive traversal of internal directories.

3

How does the tool handle Chinese or non‑UTF‑8 text?

It automatically detects encoding using `chardet`, with fallbacks for GB18030, GBK, GB2312, and others. If issues persist, try the `generic` profile.

4

What are the system requirements?

Python 3.10 or higher, and 7-Zip available on the command line. No other runtime dependencies beyond the Python packages listed in `requirements.txt`.

5

Can I create a custom conversion profile?

Yes. Use the `ConversionConfig` dataclass from `chm_converter.config` to define classes, IDs, and cleanup patterns to remove, then pass it to `process_chm_file` in your own Python script.
