Hello. Your idea is very interesting and it's a great pity, that I can't see the source code. (afaik, attachments aren't working in that ML...) I realy need to see it, cause I'm working over InstaView (JS preview for MW, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Pilaf/InstaView) abilities extension and I've already made primitive templates preview... I'm also working over html2wiki js converter. At that very moment I've managed to process tables (with captions, rows, cells and attributes) and lists (nested dl's are still buggy...) So if these things will be implemented, it would be possible to create FCKeditor-based WYSIWYM editor for MW (I have almost working prototype...), that can be an optional substitution for wikitext-based editing. So the idea is the folowing: * When user edits the page he can switch between visual editing and wikitext * For visual editing FCKeditor will be used. The source for it will be generated by Instaview from the wikitext. * For back-switching to wikitext html2wiki converter will be used, so the text in DB will be saved as wikitext in any way.
So, thoughts and any feedback is appreciated!

Hello, I have made a (very) simple Ajax LaTeX editor for mediawiki. It is only proof of concept and could be a lot more improved. It does almost nothing more than show my intentions :-) and some nice greek letters and integrals. I am sending the snv patch so that you can try it and we can talk about the possibilities. I am still leaning Ajax (I am reading the book "Ajax in Action"), so, maybe there are better ways of implementing it. Please, take a look and tell me what you think about it.
Thanks, Felipe Sanches
