media wiki ConTeXt

[PChot]

Hi all,

I'm new in your ConTeXt club.

I installed livetex on my server and now i want to merge mediawiki
with ConTeXt. And i also want to make, that <math> tags work too. I
didn't find any help. Maybe i didn't search good enought. Can you tell
me, where can I get some help? And if is all that, what I want,
possible?

Have a nice day,
Jan(PChott)

Jan, perhaps you weren't clear enough. I hope you don't mind if I
explain your question once more.

Jan is setting up some server for student-to-student materials and
integrated (most probably slightly fixed version of) WikiPDF into it
(http://aluno.no-ip.info/juca/index.php/WikiPDF). This makes a LaTeX
document out of wiki syntax and processes it to generate PDFs.

He was impressed by ConTeXt and wanted to:
1.) integrate something similar to <context> command on contextgarden
while keeping <math> functionality (can be done in ConTeXt too, most
probably no need to keep LaTeX)
2.) perhaps change the mentioned WikiPDF to generate ConTeXt documents
-> PDF (perhaps that could be done via XML as well?)

1.) I don't know if his demads/intentions changed inbetween, but I
guess he was merely searching for some more help about how to set up
something like "wiki.contextgarden". Patrick, I believe that more
people would be interested in that anyway. You already described once
what people have to take care of, so that the system is not exposed to
hackers, perhaps you can put on one page on the wiki what you did in
order to enable <context> to work.
LaTeX works by default(?) in wikimedia, while ConTeXt ... needs some
promotion ;)

2.) I already heard from more people about such demand (you write in
wiki & get PDF documents out of it, possibly composed from more
pages). That would be an interesting project.

Interesting notion (the link helped a lot)

I would definately welcome a way to make ConTeXt documents from
wiki pages! :-)

Cheers, Taco

I'm working with main developer but at the moment is development on hold,
because he have other things to do first.

Firstly i would like to integrate Context in my wiki, like you have on
www.contextgarden.net. I belive that Patrick is the man a need to ask. Than
i would like to make back compatibility with <math>

Have a good day, Jan

the <context> tag is completely independent of all other tags. I have
no idea how the <math> is implemented and if it can be changed to use
ConTeXt math.

I have a mediawiki2... ruby script where ... is currently html and
xml. Its not perfect yet and not published anywhere, but if anybody is
interested in doing some ConTeXt stuff there....

Maybe you can contact me at my email address and I will put all
answers on a wiki page as well.
