Bug Description
ReText 7.0.1
This is not a bug but just a wish. I miss a batch mode of ReRext. I would like to trigger export of MD file to PDF/HTML/ODT from command line, with some parameter. Start ReText, open MD file, export it and close ReText. Other option could be to show a command that is used internally by ReText to export MD file. My aim is to be able to automate the export process...

Hi!
It's unlikely that I will have time to implement it as a separate mode.
But for Markdown, you can get almost the same output if you use a combination of markup2html [1] and wkhtmltopdf [2] tools.
If you don't have any complex JS and CSS in your files, then a combination of markdown_py (from python3-markdown package) and any HTML to PDF converter will also work.
