Does Paper still support export as Markdown?
I'm trying to use the Dropbox API to access Paper documents as markdown. I have a connected app and a user with the new version of Paper (paper_as_files: enabled). I've switched from docs/download to...
No, unfortunately /2/files/export doesn't support exporting as Markdown, nor is there another way do that in a 'paper_as_files' account, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
Update: the /2/files/export endpoint now supports exporting .paper files as Markdown.

+1 - being able to export in a machine-readable format will be useful for automation: we could do all sorts of things like readability checks or validation of conformance to a required format.
It will also be useful to be able to import paper docs in Markdown from, say, a source repository that's managed and reviewed internally, and use them as templates, for example. (I know this is a different feature request, sorry for piggybacking here.)
