Markdown to RTF, on OSX and iOS

I have to say up front that I'm not a coder, so please forgive anything too stupid I'm going to say here.
I use Marked in combination with text editors (my choice at the moment is iA Writer) to create .rtf documents on the basis of a personalized CSS (which I am still working on, trying to understand what can and what cannot be there in the final .rtf formatting).
If I do all that on my Mac, that’s fine. It works ok.
However, I also like to work on my documents on my mobile devices, and here comes the snag. I do not know of a single iOS app able to create an .rtf file on the basis of my markdown documents. So, unless there is one, I can only think of a possible solution implying the use of a specific folder in my Dropbox, monitored by my remote iMac at home. Ideally, the .txt or .md files put there should be opened automatically by Marked, which should then create an .rtf version (and possibly even a pdf one) and put it in a different folder in Dropbox, where I can get it using my iPad.
Before I start researching HOW to do it, I would very much appreciate if someone could tell IF this is at all possible, at least in principle.
Is there maybe an easier way to do it?
Thanks in advance for every suggestion you can give.

    Had a horrible experience today when I realized that over 50 posts had been moved to the spam folder and I wasn't checking it frequently. I apologize sincerely for the delay in response. Please update this issue and let me know if it still exists and I'll respond as quickly as possible.
