Re: preserving (zero-space) indenting in begin_src when exporting/publishing (to mark-down)

[Julius Dittmar]

Hi Martin,

if I understand correctly, you do not want to have a section that quotes
source code, but literal source code.

As far as I understand, that means using
#+begin_export markdown
...
#+end_export
block, not
#+begin_src markdown
...
#+end_src
block. That block will then be ignored in any other export format, and
used as-is in markdown export. (I hope "markdown" is the correct label,
I did not test it.)

Hope that helps,
Julius
