Convert rst to md files

rst_to_md.sh

# This script was created to convert a directory full
# of rst files into md equivalents. It uses
# pandoc to do the conversion.
#
# 1. Install pandoc from http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/
# 2. Copy this script into the directory containing the .rst files
# 3. Ensure that the script has execute permissions
# 4. Run the script
#
# By default this will keep the original .rst file

for f in $(ls *.rst)
do
  # extension="${f##*.}"
  filename="${f%.*}"
  echo "Converting $f to $filename.md"
  `pandoc -s -o $filename.md $f`
  # uncomment this line to delete the source file.
  # rm $f
done
