How about a plugin adding a

+[[preprocessor_directive|ikiwiki/directive]] 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
+[[!debpkg dvipng]] and include the resulting image in the page, or perhaps
render via [HeVeA](http://pauillac.inria.fr/~maranget/hevea/index.html),
[TeX2page](http://www.ccs.neu.edu/~dorai/tex2page/tex2page-doc.html), 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?
>>> Have a look at [pandoc](http://code.google.com/p/pandoc/). It can make PDFs via pdflatex. --[[roktas]]
+>>>> Interesting, just yesterday I was playing with pandoc to make PDFs from my Markdown. Could someone advise me on how to embed these PDFs into ikiwiki? I need some guidance in implementing this. --[[JosephTurian]]

[here](http://ng.l4x.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=ikiwiki.git/.git;a=blob;f=IkiWiki/Plugin/latex.pm) is a first stab at
a latex plugin. Examples [here](http://ng.l4x.org/latex/). Currently without image support for hevea. And the latex2html
output has the wrong charset and no command line switch to change that. Dreamland.

Okay, now is the time for a mid term report i think.

+Okay, the last version of the tex plugin for ikiwiki can be downloaded [here](https://www.der-winnie.de/~winnie/gsoc07/tex.pm).

+> Can you please flesh out [[plugins/teximg]] with

+
+Okay, I'll fill this up today I think with information about the plugin
+
+Done. Is that docu fine with you?
+

+
+I'll test this now on my server. I'll report here later.
+Okay, checked. it works fine. My blacklist tests were successfull.
+

+
+Mh.. For people who know latex very well this would be enough to imagine how the image would look like.
+This are of course the minority of people (but I guess also the minority of people are using non-gui browsers).
+
+
+

+
+I'll think over this until I'm at work ;) Only for rendering images... not for generating .tex files .../wiki/
+the name is all the same i think. If you like teximg better than switch :)
+

+
+Ah yes.. sorry forgot to update the plugin in my public_html folder %-). This was my last change in this plugin :) Sorry.

+I'm using a [plugin](http://metameso.org/~joe/math/tex.pm) created by [Josef Urban](http://www.cs.ru.nl/~urban) that gets LaTeX into ikiwiki by using [LaTeXML](http://dlmf.nist.gov/LaTeXML). This could well be "the right way" to go (long term) but the plugin still does not render math expressions right, because ikiwiki is filtering out requisite header information. Examples (I recommend you use Firefox to view these!) are available [here](http://metameso.org/aa/math/) and [here](http://metameso.org/aa/simple/). Compare that last example to the [file generated by LaTeXML](http://metameso.org/~joe/math/math.xml). I could use some help getting this polished off. --[[jcorneli]]
