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: http://beam.acclab.helsinki.fi/~jvierine/Niels_Henrik_Abel.pdf
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.
