;;; Commentary:

;; This library implements a Markdown back-end (vanilla flavour) for
;; Org exporter, based on `e-html'.
;;
;; It provides two commands for export, depending on the desired
;; output: `org-md-export-as-markdown' (temporary buffer) and
;; `org-md-export-to-markdown' ("md" file).

;;; Code:

(require 'org-e-html)
