You need to rely on the docstrings for the most part. Please take a look
at the initial commentary section of org-lparse.el.
The docstring for org-lparse-native-backends should a good starting
point [1]. You will start with adding an entry to this variable and
start exporting with M-x org-lparse.
Another way to proceed is
- Start with a sample org file [2]
- Enable debug logs in the exported file
(setq org-lparse-debug t)
- Do a org-export-as-xhtml
- Open the resulting html file and take a Look at the comments embedded
in it. You will have a feel for how the format and entity callbacks
are invoked (See docstring below for the format and entity callbacks)
- Keep modifying org-xhtml.el until it becomes a org-markdown.el
org-lparse is reasonably mature and you are less likely to burn your
fingers badly with it.

,----[ C-h v org-lparse-native-backends RET ]
| org-lparse-native-backends is a variable defined in `org-lparse.el'.
| Its value is ("odt" "xhtml")
|
|
| Documentation:
| List of native backends registered with `org-lparse'.
| A backend can use `org-lparse-register-backend' to add itself to
| this list.
|
| All native backends must implement a get routine and a mandatory
| set of callback routines.
|
| The get routine must be named as org-<backend>-get where backend
| is the name of the backend. The exporter uses `org-lparse-get'
| and retrieves the backend-specific callback by querying for
| ENTITY-CONTROL and ENTITY-FORMAT variables.
|
| For the sake of illustration, the html backend implements
| `org-xhtml-get'. It returns
| `org-xhtml-entity-control-callbacks-alist' and
| `org-xhtml-entity-format-callbacks-alist' as the values of
| ENTITY-CONTROL and ENTITY-FORMAT settings.

This is the unit test file that I used for developing the exporter. It
is a GOOD starting point and should give reasonably a COMPREHENSIVE
coverage.
