You haven't written anything about the format in which you want to
write your documents. Does it necessarily have to be markdown? If so,
then choose the script written in awk that would convert markdown to
mdoc[1]. I think you can look for markup parsers written in awk on the
web and rewrite the script. However, it is best to write the
documentation in the mdoc format from the beginning. This format is
just for that.
If you already have the mdoc format, then use the mandoc[2] to convert
what you want: ascii/utf8, html, troff (man), markdown, pdf, ps.
My statically linked mandoc binary weighs 466 KB (musl):
# ls -lh /usr/bin/mandoc
-r-xr-xr-x 6 root bin 466.4k Nov 6 21:42 /usr/bin/mandoc
And it contains several programs[3], such as man, apropos etc. LaTeX
can be completely replaced by troff (see neatroff[4]).
