I actually began writing something about =E2=80=9Cderiving a export backend=
=E2=80=9D
back in 2013.

Deriving a backend might be an ideal starting point of creating an
export backend; IIRC the main difference is, for a new backend you'll
have to provide /all/ the options whereas in a derived exporter you
could simply provide e.g. another src-block interpretation as
alternative to the html exporter.

Back then for some reason I didn't like punchagan's =E2=80=9Corg2blog=E2=80=
=9D (which
is not an exporter) and wrote my own ox-blog (derived from ox-html) for
exporting into wordpress (i don't use wordpress anymore, so it's
rotting away on github...).

Best regards
