Is there an easy way to strip all markdown from a text file from the command line?

Question

A solution that is installable with apt is preferable. But failing that apt is better than pip is better than gem is better than npm (for me).

Install pandoc with:

$ sudo apt install pandoc

Next run it:

$ pandoc  --from markdown --to plain -o output.txt input.md
