I don’t want to export the entire file as markdown, I want to copy a region which assumes org syntax with the syntax converted to markdown syntax. Also, I want to be able to paste something that was copied using markdown syntax as org syntax. Does anyone currently have anything for this?

      I just tried this. This sounded exactly like what I wanted, but for some reason it did not copy things latex equations in org mode properly (ie. didn’t replace \( & \) w/ $ & $).

    I often do lots of planning and writing in org-mode as an outline, so everything is basically headings that I can move around, promote/demote etc. Then when I want to paste it into Confluence I use this to export a subtree as markdown.

    https://github.com/jplindstrom/dotemacs/blob/master/config/mode-org.el#L352

    It’s brute-force, naive, shitty code and all that, but it works.

    And, sometimes to get the level of markdown headings / bullet points correct I have to run this on a higher level org heading and then pick just a bit of the output to paste into the wiki.

    One thing that doesn’t work well in the Confluence editor in particular is if you have a code block below a markdown bullet point.
