As I wrote in another comment, this can be done quite easily with Pandoc. It is a really powerful processing tool and with the right set of templates it can do wonders. Have a look at Kieran Healy's work: https://kieranhealy.org/blog/archives/2014/01/23/plain-text/
For some definitions of "easily". For a programmer, yes.
For an enterprise organization with a full gamut of technical ranges from "maintain 40 github repos for fun" to "I still don't trust anything but Word, Excel, Powerpoint and email", pandoc is not the solution (as nice a tool as it is).
