DTDucas / chm-converter
chm to markdown and vectorDB
Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does
What it does
- Profile-based conversion. generic profile for any CHM, revit profile for Autodesk Revit API docs
- Auto encoding detection. handles UTF-8, GB18030, GBK, GB2312, and more via chardet
- Cross-platform 7-Zip detection. finds 7z/7za/7zz on PATH (Windows, Linux, macOS)
- Flexible CHM structure support. handles html/ subdirectory, flat, and deeply nested layouts (e.g. DirectX SDK)
- --preserve-structure. optionally mirrors the CHM's internal folder hierarchy in the output instead of flattening everything into data/
Get started
git clone https://github.com/DTDucas/chm-converter.git
cd chm-converter
pip install -r requirements.txt You need: Python 3.10+; 7-Zip — 7z must be reachable via the default install path or PATH
