Hi all,
I would like my CV available in both HTML and PDF formats. I have a Latex version, but am willing to rewrite it in something like Markdown. In fact, I tried this, but it seems that the MultiMarkdown Bundle's convert to PDF does not produce the correct output (i.e. **word** should be strong, and not italic). I would like to know what other people are doing to deal with this multi- format issue, and how you're using Textmate to do it.
Thanks for your time,
Jeff.

Dear Jeff,
I just checked it out and I get bold and italic from **word**, but only in the convert to PDF command. This suggests that the problem is with htmldoc and not MultiMarkdown. Might be worth looking at the documentation for htmldoc in case there are missing options that would address this.
I tend to not use the convert to PDF command since I prefer the PDFs generated from pdflatex. So from a MultiMarkdown document I would generate an html and PDF document, the latter through pdflatex.
There are also some decent LaTeX to html converters, if you didn't want to rewrite the CV by hand. If any of them generate xhtml, then you could use Aaron swartz's script [1] or Andrew Green's [2] to generate the Markdown document from that.
All the best, Mark
