How about a plugin adding a
-[[preprocessor_directive|ikiwiki/preprocessordirective]] to render some given LaTeX
+[[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
render via [HeVeA](http://pauillac.inria.fr/~maranget/hevea/index.html),
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?

+>>>> 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.

+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 posted the sources [here](http://metameso.org/aa/sources/) for easy perusal. How to get ikiwiki to use the original DOCTYPE and html fields? I could use some help getting this polished off. --[[jcorneli]]
+
+> update: it seems important to force the browser to think of the content as xml, e.g. [http://metameso.org/~joe/math/example.xml](http://metameso.org/~joe/math/example.xml) has the same source code as [http://metameso.org/~joe/math/example.html](http://metameso.org/~joe/math/example.html) and the former shows math working, but the latter doesn't. --[[jcorneli]]
