Re: [O] How to get rid of first line indent?

[Birnle]

Yes, Eric, thank you again. This is what I knew, I can do it with regexp. I 
just thought there would be a simple command that could undo the "cleanup".

But I’ve read that it is possible to directly export to Markdown – that is the 
format I usually work with. By exporting an Org mode file these unnecessary 
spaces should be erased. I just have to figure out how to export to Markdown 
from Org mode … Do you know a good online How-to?
