"ox-md" supports Setext-type headlines, which are limited to 2 levels. Using a title as the first level leaves only one level for regular headlines. Also, it doesn't solve the problem of author, date and email, which do not appear either in the output. I think they are part of the same problem: (vanilla) markdown has no real support for meta-data. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I guessed setext support 6 levels so I don't know why ox-md supprot just 2 levels although my exporter seems to support 3 levels. Why? That's a good question but not what I wanted to know. What I want -and I would like to know whay ox-md doesn't- is to export org as org-mode to html does: - The title becomes h1, so the org title becomes # or ===, I don't mind - The * becomes h2, so the org * becomes ## or ---- - The ** becomes h3, so the org ** becomes ### (in case it supports 3 leveles) - etc. What do you think about it? > Also, it doesn't solve the problem of author, date and email, which do > not appear either in the output.

However in the scenarios I would like to use widely orgmode to markdown it is not necessary metadata. > > Regards, Best -- "La tradición de los oprimidos nos enseña que la regla es el «estado de excepción» en el que vivimos."

I think it is very opinionated and may be undesirable in the general case. It means that every headline would be numbered 1.xxx. Also some Markdown extensions provide meta-data keywords to specify, e.g., the title of the document. This behaviour would just get in the way for them since headlines would get one too many level with no real reason. There are several workarounds: - you can define filters to add another level to each headline and title at the beginning of the document. - you can use a {{{title}}} macro, e.g., @@md:#@@ {{{title}}} and shift other headlines If this is common enough, we could also add a defcustom to toggle this behaviour (yet, off by default). But is it common enough? Regards, ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

But is it common enough? I never use the md exporter, and I'd never use md for a complex documents. So to me it would be wasted effort. That being said, I guess it would be not too much work. Essentially it'd be a mapping of a keyword-type (title, subtitle, author, date...) to a format string, I guess. Rasmus -- Hooray! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

It means that every headline would be numbered 1.xxx.

But is it common enough? That's a good question and also why ox.md works in this way. I probably didn't explain it properly and it is because I'm used to write #+title header in org-mode. #+title it is exported to html as h1 what is great. I think that's a common header when you write org-mode, isn't it? So I guess if orgmode to html exports title-orgmode as h1-html, I think it could be exported also to md because it alrealdy exists. The exporter then could look for both title options: 1. the org-mode header and if there is a #+title, it could be h1 and the others org-mode headings (* ** ***, etc) md headings (## ### ###). 2. or {{{title}} If none of them are included, it should keep the behaviour it already has. If not, it could translate it to markdown heading1 If you think this is an uncommon use of org-mode, then I should use you suggestion or make something different ;) Best! > > Regards, -- "La tradición de los oprimidos nos enseña que la regla es el «estado de excepción» en el que vivimos."
