[WikiEN-l] latex formatting of articles

[Juha]

Hi,

Has anybody thought about automatically formatting articles with latex? 
I wrote a small script that uses the Special:Export method do download 
an article. This is then converted into latex format and processed into 
a pdf. I was quite happy with the result, although the script was just a 
quick stab. Here's an example:

Are there any plans to add a "download pdf version of article" feature 
into mediawiki? It seems that it wouldn't be that difficult to implement.

Is there a way to get articles in an even more structural format that 
with Special:Export? This would make the parsing less error-prone (now I 
sometimes get strange errors). I read something about mediawiki DTD in 
the meta-wiki, but the article didn't say if somebody was working on it.
