Command: fountain-export-command

This command, bound to C-c C-e e, will prompt for an export profile. The first profile is considered default, so just hitting RET is a quick way to export in your usual way.

User Option: fountain-export-command-profiles

This option contains the list of shell command profiles for exporting. The first profile is considered the default.
