Hi Z, (replying to the list)
I have put together a simplified function based on the code from https://medium.com/@lakshminp/publishing-a-book-using-org-mode-9e817a56d144, which simply exports each top-level header to a plain Markdown file. You can find it here: https://gist.github.com/zzamboni/2e6ac3c4f577249d98efb224d9d34488 I have added some commentary in the code about what it does. After evaluating the code, you just need to call M-x org-multi-file-md-export in the buffer you want to export. I hope this helps in getting you started!
