We are looking to use some categories of our forum to crowdsource knowledge from comments that will be incorporated into wiki posts via moderators. This content will then be published read-only on another site in HTML.

I realize there are probably a lot of markdown parsers (although the post syntax is not strictly MD) in Python (our platform) that can output HTML, but I wondered if anyone had done something like this with Discourse and had any particular recommendations about a specific parser or some other aspect of this task.

Thanks!

Just pull the cooked post? Discourse converts it to html. Just add `.json` to the end of the post url and look.

@falco recently made the `/raw/` path work for **the entire topic** as well as the post. Thus, try:

`https://meta.discourse.org/raw/202680/2`  
`https://meta.discourse.org/raw/202680`
