Org-mode to Markdown

Convert Emacs Org-mode into Markdown.

Example

Org-mode
* Heading
*bold* and /italic/
Markdown
# Heading

**bold** and *italic*

What it keeps

  • * / ** headings
  • Bold, italic and code
  • Lists, links and source blocks

Where it struggles

  • Properties, drawers and TODO keywords are simplified
  • Agenda and scheduling metadata is dropped
  • Org tables convert but spreadsheet formulas don't

Frequently asked questions

What happens to TODO keywords?

They're kept as leading text on the heading; Markdown has no task-state system of its own.

Do source blocks convert?

Yes — #+begin_src blocks become fenced Markdown code blocks.

Is anything uploaded?

No — conversion happens in your browser.
