Hi,

I am developing a Wiki for creating documentation. So far importing Word documents and editing the documentation is working well, this is were MediaWiki really has an advantage over other solutions.

But doing PDF export is not easy. I have installed PDFPrint, it works, but the quality of the PDF's is not very good. The layout can be messed up and most importantly, there are not much configuration options, like making templates, display of links (internal and external), resizing of graphics etc.

So now I am considering two other ways of PDF export:

1. Wiki to LaTeX

This extention has lots of possibility especially templates and extended configuration using the LaTeX language. But learning and debugging LaTeX errors takes some time.

2. Export to XML and convert to PDF (using XLST)

This can also be a good option, but the wiki XML syntax is no real form of XML like XHTML which makes conversion difficult.

So I have two questions:

1. Who has experience with using the wiki2Latex addin and can give me some advice on debugging LaTeX? 2. What are your experiences with PDF export and have you found a good way to do it?

Regards,

Tibor Lapikas
