Emacs mode for Stack Overflow's markdown

Question

I am using Org-mode in Emacs to handle all my technical documentation. I would like to use Emacs to prepare questions that I have for Stack Overflow. Is there an Emacs mode

Answer 1

There is markdown-mode: http://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/

See http://emacswiki.org/emacs/MarkdownMode for some customization.

And there is a markdown backend for the new export engine here: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=blob_plain;f=contrib/lisp/org-md.el;hb=HEAD

Make sure you add the contrib/lisp/ directory to your load-path.

Then (require 'org-export) and (require 'org-md).

M-x org-md-export-to-markdown RET will export to markdown.
