Here are some snippets of AppleScript that you might find handy.
Note: These are examples that work in

tell page "junk" of document 1 to append text "this goes at the bottom" & return

tell front document
export to ipod
end tell
end tell
Getting text from a specific page:
tell application "VoodooPad"
set theString to (text of page "index" of document 1) as string
end tell
An example that loops through all the pages and displays it's name and contents
tell application "VoodooPad"
tell document 1
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in pages
set s to text of page i
set n to name of page i
display dialog n & return & s

set theDoc to first document
tell theDoc
set myList to ordered names sorted by create date
repeat with idx from 1 to number of items in myList
set pageName to item idx of myList
set s to text of (page pageName of theDoc)
-- now do something exciting with s
end repeat
-- we could have also done:
-- set myList to ordered names sorted by modified date
-- set myList to ordered names -- default, sorted by key
end tell
end tell
Call into VoodooPad's scripting language "Lua" from AppleScript (it's kind of crazy)
tell application "VoodooPad Pro"
set s to "print 'Hello World!'; table.foreach(applescriptProperties, print); applescriptProperties.output = 'Hello from the return value!'"
tell window 1
set x to use plugin named "Lua Script" with properties {source:s, aprop:"This is a property passed in"}
display dialog x
end tell
set s to "applescriptProperties.output = windowController:textView():string()"
tell window 1
set x to use plugin named "Lua Script" with properties {source:s}
display dialog (x as string)
end tell
end tell
Fun with Meta Values
tell application "VoodooPad Pro"
set currentPage to current page name
tell page currentPage of document 1 to add meta record with value {|the key|:"the value"}
activate
display dialog "did it add?"
set thePageMeta to meta record of page currentPage of document 1
set s to |the key| of thePageMeta

display dialog "did it go away?"
end tell
