Hi-

It's Daryl here, and I have indeed started working on instiki.  My first
task was bug #270, "Export Errors", in which instiki, when *not* running via
Webrick blows up when you click on the "Export" link on the front page.

Here is what I have found:

The offending line is in export.rhtml, here it is:
<% if OPTIONS[:pdflatex] && @web.markup == :textile %>

The problem is that "OPTIONS" is set in script/server, so that if you start
instiki using anything other than webrick you get an error.  The OPTIONS are
the command-line options passed to Webrick on start.  I use Mongrel, so I
was seeing the error myself.

I could try to fix it by getting the command-line options from the other
servers (don't know how yet), or just removing the condition, but I would
propose that instead of being a command line option, the setting of whether
or not you support output to pdf and/or latex be wiki settings that could be
set via the "Edit Web" page.  I guess this could be a web-by-web setting,
though it seems more like a wiki-wide setting to me.

What do others think?
