Plugin that converts a post to markdown

    I've got a complicated situation where markdown is going to be needed in System A but the people writing the content don't know markdown or html and they don't really need to.

    What I'd like to do is get them to enter the content into WordPress and, when I review it and approve, it shows me the same content in markdown that I can just cut and paste into System A.

    I'm guessing I'm going to need to write something based on one of the Jekyll exporters but does anyone know if it already exists?

    I'll use them as a base, either need it to be a specific feed or need it displayed on the edit page - the posts will never go live.

    ytechie's project links to this: https://github.com/domchristie/to-markdown and that looks perfect.

    thanks
