[Labs-l] MediaWiki to LaTeX Compiler

Sun May 25 09:49:22 UTC 2014

Hi,
if you want the tex source go for the command line version and use the 
-c command line option. If you want to convert from tex to mediawiki use 
pandoc. In the imprint of each pdf there is a link to the sourceforge 
page. Its slow, but I cannot make it any faster. Its mostly the runtime 
of LaTeX itself. I already invested two weeks in optimizing speed. In 
particular its using multiple cores, while in my code. But well there is 
not much you can do with multiple cores when running LaTeX itself. You 
could actully get some speed by using native cores, but the 
administration is not that easy. It also says on the main page that it 
will take up to ten minutes.
Yours Dirk
