I don't know that much about markdown, and I know there are many different
flavours. pandoc can make use of title, author, and date info in a
markdown file -- from what i cna tell, it expects a "title block atthe head
of a file (http://pandoc.org/README.html#extension-pandoc_title_block)
% author
% title
% date
I have a simple, inadequate patch to ox-md-template that inserts this info.
It's a start maybe for a better patch?

I don't think it's inadequate, but I also don't know if this should be
part of ox-md in it’s present form.
The original md specification doesn’t seem to support this syntax:
https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
(I searched for % and author).
Would it be recognized by say Github or Stack Exchange? On Github
"^% Rasmus\n" is printed as just that, so I guess not.
Perhaps it would be better to define a new backend, ox-md-pandoc.el, or
add a "#+MARKDOWN_FLAVOR" keyword to condition such insertions on.
Cheers,
Rasmus

Thank you for the patch.
However, "ox-md.el" is for Vanilla Markdown, where such constructs do
not exist. So it cannot be applied there.
ISTR there are a few others export back-ends in contrib/ that may use
this. You may also create ox-md-pandoc.el if it doesn't exist already.
Regards,

github, because it's veyr clumsy and doesn't support enough of the pandoc

I would love it if other people would help me improve it. I put a few ideas
in the README. Happy to add to contrib if/when people think it's good
enough to be of general use.

If you want to eventually add it to Org, you should pay attention to
copyright assignment, or it may forever live in contrib, much like
ox-koma-letter.el (which is, I must say, extremely inconvenient, at least
for me). If you care about this issue, perhaps you’ll want to check how
company-mode organizes itself on teh githubs.
