Unless you have a strong preference for LaTeX syntax, (Pandoc) 
markdown is the better choice. You can export to multiple 
formats, including .tex, and you can insert arbitrary LaTeX 
inside the .md file.

I use Pandoc for all of my class lecture notes, and by the end of 
the semester the full documents will be 180-300 pages, depending 
on the class. I convert .md to .tex to .pdf, but when I want to 
pull parts out to post on the website, I copy the markdown into a 
new file and convert to html.
