Have you tried with Pandoc?
EDIT:
Although the documentation has become a bit complex, pandoc has supported inline LaTeX and LaTeX templates for 10 years.
Documents like the following one can be written in Markdown:
--- title: Just say hello! author: My Friend header-includes: | \usepackage{tikz,pgfplots} \usepackage{fancyhdr} \pagestyle{fancy} \fancyhead[CO,CE]{This is fancy} \fancyfoot[CO,CE]{So is this} \fancyfoot[LE,RO]{\thepage} abstract: This is a pandoc test with Markdown + inline LaTeX --- Just say hello! =============== This could be a good example or inlined \LaTeX: \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis} \addplot[color=red]{exp(x)}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} %Here ends the furst plot \hskip 5pt %Here begins the 3d plot \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis} \addplot3[ surf, ] {exp(-x^2-y^2)*x}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} And now, just a few words to terminate: > Goodbye folks!Which can be converted to LaTeX using commands like this:
pandoc -s -i Hello.md -o Hello.texFollowing is an image of the converted
Hello.mdtoHello.pdffile using MiKTeX as LaTeX processor with the command:pandoc -s -i Hello.md -o Hello.pdf
Finally, there are some open source LaTeX templates like this one: https://github.com/Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template, that can be used for better formatting.
As always, the reader should dig deeper if he has less trivial use cases than presented here.
