 a latex plugin. Examples [here](http://ng.l4x.org/latex/). Currently without image support for hevea. And the latex2html
 output has the wrong charset and no command line switch to change that. Dreamland.

+I'm using a [plugin](http://metameso.org/~joe/math/tex.pm) created by [Josef Urban](http://www.cs.ru.nl/~urban) that gets LaTeX into ikiwiki by using [LaTeXML](http://dlmf.nist.gov/LaTeXML).  This could well be "the right way" to go (long term) but the plugin still does not render math expressions right, because ikiwiki is filtering out requisite header information.  Examples (I recommend you use Firefox to view these!) are available [here](http://li101-104.members.linode.com/aa/math/) and [here](http://li101-104.members.linode.com/aa/simple/).  Compare that last example to the [file generated by LaTeXML directly](http://metameso.org/~joe/math/math.xml).  I posted the sources [here](http://metameso.org/aa/sources/) for easy perusal.  How to get ikiwiki to use the original DOCTYPE and html fields?  I could use some help getting this polished off. --[[jcorneli]]
+
+> update: it seems important to force the browser to think of the content as xml, e.g. [http://metameso.org/~joe/math/example.xml](http://metameso.org/~joe/math/example.xml) has the same source code as [http://metameso.org/~joe/math/example.html](http://metameso.org/~joe/math/example.html) and the former shows math working, but the latter doesn't. --[[jcorneli]]
+
+>> Looking at the source code, it seems Ikiwiki is doing more than filtering header information - it is filtering out all HTML formatting around MathML constituent objects.  In the first example, we see that formatting for tables and such is preserved. --[[jcorneli]]
