This shell script converts one or more Trunk Notes files to plain markdown. It removes the first 7 lines and touches the modification date to match the Timestamp line. It does not convert the markdown itself. For example it does not convert ~~ (strikethrough).
It assumes the input files all have the extension .markdown and writes files with extension .md, thus not destroying your original files.
