Converting Org Mode Text To Markdown In The Clipboard

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about Charles Choi’s post on converting Markdown in the clipboard to Org mode. Now Choi is back with the inverse operation: converting Org mode text to Markdown in the clipboard. This time the code comes from Marcin Borkowski in a post from 2021.

As Choi says, Borkowski’s post provides a nice symmetry with his own. Despite my own—probably irrational—belief that there’s little reason for an Emacs user to be messing around with Markdown, I do admit that at the very least collaboration may require conversion between the two formats. You can always do this directly with Pandoc, of course, but the two methods from Choi and Borkowski are much easier.

If you often find yourself needed to convert between Org mode and Markdown, take a look at these two posts for an easy way of doing so.
