How about a plugin adding a
[[preprocessor_directive|preprocessordirective]] to render some given LaTeX
and include it in the page?  This could either render the LaTeX as a PNG via
[[debpkg dvipng]] and include the resulting image in the page, or perhaps
render via [HeVeA](http://pauillac.inria.fr/~maranget/hevea/index.html) or
similar. Useful for mathematics, as well as for stuff like the LaTeX version
of the ikiwiki [[/logo]].

----

ikiwiki could also support LaTeX as a document type, again rendering to HTML.

----

Conversely, how about adding a plugin to support exporting to LaTeX?

>>> Have a look at [pandoc](http://code.google.com/p/pandoc/).  It can make PDFs via pdflatex. --[[roktas]]
