First I've seen of this Doxia project (unless I'm brainfarting), this looks very exciting. > On Feb 6, 2008, at 3:49 PM, Jan Kodera wrote: > > What I missed, was the transfer to LaTex.

I think what you are talking about is similar to Mediawiki's LaTex support. They delimit TeX markup with "<math></math>" tags and it works quite nicely. User level documentation can be found at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula I believe most wiki engines that offer LaTeX support use a similar interface. > On Feb 6, 2008 2:54 PM, Tim Chippington Derrick > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Sounds like a great project.

You do bring up a good point though. I'd like to reinforce the fact that there are those outside of academia who would like to see LaTeX support. XWiki is very nice for engineering department wikis, and engineers tend to like LaTeX. -Paul D.
