Hi Matt,

Thanks for your 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
