So in order to use your system on Wikipedia,
a new user will not only have to learn wiki (easy)
but they'll also have to learn wikiTeX (harder) --
even if they already know TeX!
Changing TeX markup to something equivalently opaque is an impressively
bad idea.
Rather, feel free to design your own idiosyncratic markup. Just don't
impose it on anyone else; make sure that Wikipedia uses standard TeX.
If only so we can simply cut-and-paste equations from PlanetMath.
Has anyone who's interested in doing all this mathwork contacted anyone
working on that project?
The only things that are changed are things that wouldn't be legal
in TeX anyway. Care is taken so that everything that is legal TeX
stays legal pseudo-TeX.
You will be able to cut-and-paste equations from PlanetMath.
