description:
    This script will attempt to read the current df-screen, and if it is a
    text-viewscreen (such as the dwarf 'thoughts' screen or an item / creature
    'description') or an announcement list screen (such as announcements and
    combat reports) then append a marked-down version of this text to the
    target file (for easy pasting on reddit for example).
    Previous entries in the file are not overwritten, so you
    may use the 'markdown' command multiple times to create a single
    document containing the text from multiple screens (eg: text screens
    from several dwarves, or text screens from multiple artifacts/items,
    or some combination).

usage:
    markdown [/n] [filename]

    /n - overwrites contents of output file
    filename - if provided, the data will be saved in md_filename.md instead
               of default md_export.md

known screens:
    The screens which have been tested and known to function properly with
    this script are:
        1: dwarf/unit 'thoughts' screen
        2: item/art 'description' screen
        3: individual 'historical item/figure' screens
        4: manual
        4: announements screen
        5: combat reports screen
        6: latest news (when meeting with liaison)
    There may be other screens to which the script applies.  It should be
    safe to attempt running the script with any screen active, with an
    error message to inform you when the selected screen is not appropriate
    for this script.

target file:
    The default target file's name is 'md_export.md'.  A remider to this effect
    will be displayed if the script is successful.

character encoding:
    The text will likely be using system-default encoding, and as such
    will likely NOT display special characters (eg:é,õ,ç) correctly.  To
    fix this, you need to modify the character set that you are reading
    the document with.  'Notepad++' is a freely available program which
    can do this using the following steps:
        1: open the document in Notepad++
        2: in the menu-bar, select
            Encoding->Character Sets->Western European->OEM-US
        3: copy the text normally to wherever you want to use it
