QH Markdown Exporter

QH Markdown Exporter lets you export any combination of post types and statuses as Markdown files — perfectly formatted for Obsidian and other Markdown-based note-taking apps.

Key features:

• YAML frontmatter — title, source URL, author, published date, description, tags, and full hierarchical categories
• Extended metadata (optional, on by default) — adds word_count, outline (ordered H2–H4 heading list), and internal_links (structured list of links to other exported posts) to each file’s frontmatter — ideal for AI/SEO tooling
• Clean content — strips sidebars, widgets, navigation, related-posts blocks, social-share plugins, and other injected noise
• GFM tables — converts HTML tables to GitHub-Flavored Markdown pipe tables
• Bulk export — export your entire site at once or filter by post type, status, and date range
• Large-site support — chunked AJAX export with live progress bar handles sites with thousands of posts
• Sitemap export — optional sitemap.json bundled in the ZIP: hierarchical pages tree, posts grouped by category, and custom post types — ready for AI/LLM ingestion
• No dependencies — pure PHP with no external libraries required

Output format:

Each post becomes a .md file named YYYY-MM-DD_Post Title.md containing:

`

title: “Post Title”
source: “https://yoursite.com/post-slug/”
author:
– “[[Author Name]]”
published: 2024-01-15
created: 2024-06-01
description: “Post excerpt or auto-generated summary…”
tags:
– tag-name
categories:
– “Parent > Child”
word_count: 1250
outline:
– “## What This Post Covers”
– “### Step One”
– “## Conclusion”
internal_links:
– slug: “related-post-slug”
anchor: “related post title”

url: “https://yoursite.com/related-post-slug/”

The word_count, outline, and internal_links fields are added when Include extended metadata is ticked (default: on). internal_links only lists links to other posts included in the current export — external links and links to non-exported content are excluded.

All files are bundled into a single ZIP archive named {sitename}_md_export_YYYY-MM-DD.zip.
