How to convert mediawiki syntax to latex?

Question

I think I've seen a script for converting mediawiki syntax to Latex. Also, in case there are more than one solution for this, it might be nice to summarize them here.

Answer 1

If you working from within a mediawiki, there is the wiki2latex extension.

Answer 2

There is also WikiPublisher addon which is built specifically as an addon to pmwiki. I have been using it with quite some success.

Answer 3

Zim is WYSIWYG desktop note-taking application with a wiki markup that can directly export their .txt pages to HTML or LaTeX code. It is available for Windows, BSD and Linux (included in several distributions). It can export single pages or complete notebooks.

A simple page of Zim, their internal wiki code and the compiled LaTeX export as article is showed below:

Content-Type: text/x-zim-wiki
Wiki-Format: zim 0.4
Creation-Date: 2012-10-05T19:09:32+02:00

Answer 5

Javalatex seems like a very interesting project, and should have support for this. (Haven't tried them yet, but will report experience when I have)

Answer 6

This perl script seems to be the script I was thinking of.
