md2latex

A lame Markdown to LaTeX converter.

Install

Run pip install md2latex (use sudo if necessary).

See test.md for an example and run md2latex test.md test.tex to taste a flavor of it.

Features

• title
• author(s)
• headings (converted to sections)
• lists (converted to enumerate/itemize)
• emphasis, strong and monospace text style
• hyperlink (using hyperref package)
• footnote (in mistune syntax)

Caveats

You can inline LaTeX commands because they are not markdown-parsable. However, md2latex doesn't do auto-escaping for you so if you have underscore LaTeX meta chracters such as _ or % in your document, be cautious!

Acknowledgement

Thanks @lepture for the super awersome mistune markdown parser.
