Why latex -> md and not the other way around? #38

Great work on the manual!

I'm just wondering about the current workflow. LaTeX is more complex than markdown, why not just using markdown for the content and then convert to LaTeX using a custom parser (like the one being used now) or just use PrinceXML?

Mostly because I'm weird and enjoy working with LaTeX. I like having a compiled environment and the .tex source may require some additional information, e.g. to properly line break when \texttt is involved.
