Bear in mind I'm not an elisp expert, and I got it working after a lot of trial and error. I'm using this script as part of a quickblogging engine I'm writing for org (still testing, will share once it works as expected) so that I can blog from directly from my journal org file to a jekyll blog.

I also created a new function based off org-export-generic called org-export-generic-markdown which can be called in a non-interactive way, so that it could work from the script.

The script basically exports a specific org file to markdown (in the same dir the org file is located). Now I want to make it accept command-line arguments. I will check it out tonight.

This is pretty powerful, as you can also return data from the script by using princ. I can imagine millions of ways this could be used to integrate org with other apps/languages.

Would you mind sharing a simple .el file you'd use that way? The
site's example is a bash script, and I wonder how much cleaner a .el
file would be.
