Here's my issue: by the nature of kniki, it is best if all of the documents are written in LaTeX because of the amount of mathematical items required. Therefore, I would like to be able to input content with LaTeX format, then have Plone render the document as XHTML. There are several projects which convert LaTeX to XHTML, and I think the one best suited for this task is plasTeX (http:// plastex.sourceforge.net/). I've been hacking on python for a few months and I'm comfortable with it, but the problem is that I'm new to Plone and Zope and I don't really know where to start. Some people at my local Python/Plone/Zope users' group have suggested that I read "Web Component Development With Zope 3" (Weitershausen) and "Professional Plone Development" (Aspeli). I've picked up and read copies of both. Also, one guy from the users' group suggested I hack around in portal transforms to see if I can get something to work. I'm starting to become more familiar with Plone and Zope, but I'm still in the noob stage. I've managed to install Plone 3.0.6 on my Ubuntu box (Ubuntu Server 7.10), and I can connect to it remotely using Apache as the webserver (2.2.4-3ubuntu0.1).
It would be really helpful if anyone has a suggestion on how I can get started on this project. Like I said, I think I need a portal transform, but maybe there is a better way to accomplish this goal. Its even possible that something that does what I need already exists, and I haven't found it (I've looked). Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Joshua
