I think Org-mode (in Emacs) does something similar to what you want. Here's link to page with add-on function to add drag'n'drop images to Org files. The web page itself is what was exported from Org, although the export could have as easily been to pdf. There's also link on this page to youtube video illustrating things: http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2015/07/10/Drag-images-and-files-onto-org-mode-and-insert-a-link-to-them/ http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2015/07/10/Drag-image... Org-mode itself uses its own rules for adding Markdown-like formatting, but Org-mode has features that go way beyond Markdown. Here's a fairly simple technical doc with a few images and footnotes: http://kieranhealy.org/files/misc/workflow-apps.pdf http://kieranhealy.org/files/misc/workflow-apps.pdf and here's the org file and images that you were used to author that document and export it to pdf: https://github.com/kjhealy/workflow-paper https://github.com/kjhealy/workflow-paper
