Makefiles address that.

     make html pdf
This one has many OSXisms & wants some homebrew bits, but may give you a starting point:

Yup, having a default Markdown doc project that you clone is a big help. That way, you can include a Makefile, as well as embed LaTeX header info.

For cases where you really need to share your doc with coworkers in an editable form, you can even define an MS Word target...
