Extension:WikiTeX

Development on WikiTeX has been on-going since 2003, and was primarily a means to bring LaTeX notation for objects such as chess, music, math into MediaWiki.

The long-term strategy of WikiTeX is incorporation into the Zend Engine, so as to allow the direct invocation of WikiTeX from within PHP; or even as an Apache handler, so as to immediately translate markup. WikiTeX has been ported from PHP to C for that very purpose.
