+How about a plugin adding a
+[[preprocessor_directive|preprocessordirective]] to render some given LaTeX
+and include it in the page?  This could either render the LaTeX as a PNG via
+[[debpkg dvipng]] and include the resulting image in the page, or perhaps
+render via [HeVeA](http://pauillac.inria.fr/~maranget/hevea/index.html),
+[TeX2page](http://www.ccs.neu.edu/~dorai/tex2page/tex2page-doc.html), or
+similar. Useful for mathematics, as well as for stuff like the LaTeX version
+of the ikiwiki [[/logo]].
+
+----
+
+ikiwiki could also support LaTeX as a document type, again rendering to HTML.
+

+
+Conversely, how about adding a plugin to support exporting to LaTeX?

+[here](http://ng.l4x.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=ikiwiki.git/.git;a=blob;f=IkiWiki/Plugin/latex.pm) is a first stab at
+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.
