How To publish to markdown?

How To publish to markdown?

[Daniel Thom]

Hi,

i use a publish project which calls the function *org-html-publish-to-html*.
I also need a project to publish to markdown syntax. But there is no function
org-md-publish-to-md. Could someone explain me, how to publish to markdown?
Export file by file works... but i need to publish round about 200 files....

I read about a patch but i dont know how to implement it...

Which version of Org are you using? The function
=org-mod-publish-to-md= was added on Sept 25th:

You can easily  define the function yourself if you don't want to
upgrade:

#+begin_src elisp
(defun org-md-publish-to-md (plist filename pub-dir)
"Publish an org file to Markdown.

FILENAME is the filename of the Org file to be published.  PLIST
is the property list for the given project.  PUB-DIR is the
publishing directory.

Return output file name."
(org-publish-org-to 'md filename ".md" plist pub-dir))
#+end_src
