Not sure if you are talking about markdown because you actually want it in markdown format (if this is the point, I don't get the pros to have the resume in markdown).
If you're just looking for an "online" easy to update version of your resume I've found an awesome service that I use: registry.jsonresume.org/davidgerva

That is my resume and it is in a simple text-format in a GitHub gist. The service just reads the last version of that file and render your resume.
Here is the site if you may need: jsonresume.org/

Thanks for sharing. I like the markdown resume because I can take advantage of the format to show more. For example, Maria in the comments below suggested including a gif for each project

JSON resume is awesome, @davidgerva. I do wish it had more options in the standard schema, but you can do super cool things with it as a data source. If you feed it to a simple template, that can give you basic HTML you can convert to docx and markdown with pandoc (see my top-level comment about formatting limits for getting through Applicant Tracking Systems).

@jasterix you actually get more control over formatting and styling the pdf and web versions of your resume with JSON, and see the above paragraph for how you can still convert it to markdown via a separate simple HTML output. It's more steps, but awesome control.
