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?
Try: copy as format
hey thats really neat!
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.

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.
