I'm using multimarkdown to write my thesis. It's a more advanced markdown parser which converts md to tex, and from there to pdf.
It's SO-NICE to write a thesis in markdown instead of having to think about styling and stuff at the same time.
A shoutout to the project, I'm happy with it
@arteteco Yea its pretty great for writing technical papers where you need some heavy hitting power but don't want the tedious nature of pdf EVERYWHERE.
I use it as a base for msot of my white papers.
