Could someone tell me if the ability to export standard markdown has been implemented yet?

  Can you explain more? The files are already in Markdown format, and you can use standard notation. You don't actually need to export them, they're just in your vault folder.

    Obsidian uses non-standard Markdown for things such as block references, wiki-style links, etc. Since very early beta "export to standard Markdown" had been on the todo list so that notes taken in Obsidian would not be "locked in" because they were reliant on app-specific markup.

      Have you checked out the Obsidian Pandoc plugin? I think it might meet your needs: https://github.com/OliverBalfour/obsidian-pandoc https://github.com/OliverBalfour/obsidian-pandoc That being said standard Markdown does not provide notation for certain things, so it is somewhat up to interpretation how to convert certain features to standard Markdown.

        It appears that the feature in question is still on the roadmap, but moved to long-term: https://trello.com/b/Psqfqp7I/obsidian-roadmap https://trello.com/b/Psqfqp7I/obsidian-roadmap

          Gotcha, check out the Obsidian Pandoc plugin as I think it can be modified to suit your needs!

  Is standard markdown a thing? What is now called commonmark [1] was called by thar name originally, but the name was changed after John Gruber objected. Other than that, there seem to be a plethora of markdown dialects, none of which is very “standard” as far as I can tell. Perhaps variants of the github flavor are most widespread, though.
