This sounds like an impossible task to me. The advantage of Latex over HTML/Markdown is that you get very precise control over the placement of things like figures. Even something as minor as changing paper sizes from US Letter -> A4 completely messes this up and requires lots of manual adjustment. That's the price of using Latex, and in exchange we get documents that look much nicer than HTML/Markdown.
