Extension:Wiki2LaTeX/Development

This is where all the development efforts take place.

A simple Updatescript
In order to update a wiki2latex-installation to the latest dev-version, you can use this script. Just place it in your wiki2latex folder and run it directly. It downloads the sources from this page and updates your files.

Warning: It is not recommended to use this update method for other purposes then testing the newest-latest-and-greatest dev-version of wiki2latex. Do not use this script in a production environment!

Requirements: PHP's allow_url_fopen has to be enabled. PHP needs the rights to write to the files.
