There is a difference however, in that the LaTeX source has all the  
information determining how the resulting PDF should look like. On  
the other hand, Markdown doesn't contain any CSS information. So if  
we only care about the HTML, without any css specification, then this  
can be done of course, but I am not sure if it really is that useful.
