Hi

Is this by design?

I expected to following

[[file:some-file.org::#some-heading][some text]]

to translate to this

[some text](some-file.md#some-heading)

So in org-md-link I would have thought that the default would be more like
this

(t (if (not desc) (format "<%s>" path)
 (format "[%s](%s%s)" desc path (or (org-element-property :search-option
link) ""))))

You would of course have to do some sanity checking on search-option to
just take care of id versus headline searches etc.

Regards
Phil

I'm not sure if this is by design or because of limitations in the
markdown dialect used by org mode (see
http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown) or just a bug. My
suspicion, after a quick review of the markdown syntax on the
daringfireball site is that search links are not supported.

This is one of those examples of the problems arising from a format type
which does not have a specification. There are numerous different
markdown dialects and org had to select one. Problem is, everyone gets
use to a particular dialect and then is often disappointed when org's
dialect does not match their expectations. One reason we also have the
github flavoured markdown exporter.
