If you want to generate LaTeX from Markdown, you can use Pandoc. Pandoc has various extensions to regular Markdown (including inline math, tables, etc.), so this gives you some flexibility when producing more complicated types of documents. In fact, Pandoc converts from Markdown to LaTeX to PDF when you choose PDF as the output format.

Love Pandoc. Recommend it highly for trans-format needs.

Have also found that Texts > Pandoc > (whatever) works very well for non-techies -- think Texts (a "Markdown word processor") needs more love:

Texts says it's Cross-Platform, and even has a (misleading) picture of Tux in the same page, yet no Linux version whatsoever?
