    Posted by Luis Pedro posts: 46 ☆ ☆ ☆ Portugal

    Hi there,

    Is there anything planed in order to have a convertion service from Wiki syntax into Latex?
    This would be very nice to write some big documents and then be able to generate a pdf
    using pdflatex package.

    Hi

    We currently have a PDF export available from the WIKI pages. I'm just not sure off the top of my head on which way it goes about creating the PDF file.

    Haven't dug into exporting deeply, but can I get a whole dump of my wiki contents as a bunch
    of HTML files without the community stuff around it? I have a bunch of ~130 students who have
    their seminar topics posted in wiki, and I bet they want to take them home :-)

    You can do that in Admin Wiki with the export function.

    The UniWakka wiki clone
    http://uniwakka.sourceforge.net/HomePage
    has a very comprehesive math support. And Latex export.
    They generate MathML, not pictures like wikipedia.

    As far as I understood they use a php script that can convert ASCII representation of math to MathML so no latex or other external progs are needed.

    Here is their math demo page
    http://www.istitutocolli.org/uniwakka/MathInsert
    looks impressive.

    I'm currently trying to create a TikiWiki based student site at my university, math capabilities are highly wanted there.
