How about a plugin adding a [[preprocessor_directive|preprocessordirective]] to render some given LaTeX and include it in the page? This could either render the LaTeX as a PNG via [[debpkg dvipng]] and include the resulting image in the page, or perhaps render via HeVeA or similar. Useful for mathematics, as well as for stuff like the LaTeX version of the ikiwiki [[/logo]].


ikiwiki could also support LaTeX as a document type, again rendering to HTML.


Conversely, how about adding a plugin to support exporting to LaTeX?

I did some tests with using Markdown and a customized HTML::Latex and html2latex and it appears it will work for me now. (I hope to use ikiwiki for many to collaborate on a printed book that will be generated at least once per day in PDF format.)

Have a look at pandoc. It can make PDFs via pdflatex. --[[roktas]]


here is a first stab at a latex plugin. Examples here. Currently without image support for hevea. And the latex2html output has the wrong charset and no command line switch to change that. Dreamland.
