Hello Jean-Christophe,

Have you tried the 'ox-md' which is part of Org?  Like this:

    (require 'ox-md)
    (add-to-list 'org-export-backends 'md)

The export dispatched should then have an "Export to Markdown" option
bound to 'm'.

There are more export backends as well.  If you do M-x find-library and
search for "ox-" you will find more options.

All the best,
Protesilaos (or simply "Prot")
