md2latex is a simple (and perhaps very primitive) Markdown to Latex compiler. Currently in early development.
Write your thesis in Markdown! Or perhaps something else, idk.
Pandoc does the job too, and it is more advanced, but take a look at the number of dependencies:

Type make. To build on Linux with dietlibc, type make md2latex instead.
md2latex takes a single argument, the path of the markdown file, and prints the corresponding latex to stdout. You may want to pipe that output into a file.
md2latex file.md > file.texThe generated file can then be used by utilities provided by TeXLive to generate i.e. a pdf.
latexmk -pdf
