Hello, I think I had once the same desire as you, Jos´e, (trying to use Latex directly beside Pmwiki markup), and had started "privately" an according project implementing some of the markup rules:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/LinuxTex.PureLatex For example, I have set up the usual $...$ and $$...$$ syntax, have the \begin{align*} ... \end{align*} which is capable of spanning multiple lines, and added \emph{} and \section{} as markup rules. This all works quite nicely and has the advantage that I can (more or less) just take the text and use it for "real" Latex documents later. One can think of creating markup like $$ ... $$ % [[...]] which would produce a formula which when clicked leads to the given wiki page, and still this markup could be used as valid Latex code (note the "%" which starts a rest-of-line comment). If you are interested let me know - I can make the markup rules public then. (It's not yet finished though, \ref and \cite are still on the todo list.) BTW, also take note of the Cookbook.JsMath recipe - it is really remarkable what Ben has produced there (wouldn't have guessed this is possible at all on the client side).
