[emacs-wiki-discuss] muse and latex

[Na Li]

Hi, I'm gradually switch from emacs-wiki to muse for writing my web pages.  I
really like the idea of publishing to multiple formats in muse.  What I would
like to see is better latex support.  

First of all, right now the special characters like %, $, # do not get treated
at all.  I don't know if that is a bug or not.

Another bug is that 'tagged' sections are not translated correctly, i.e., for

#thissection
** This Section

Muse attempts to insert a \hypertarget{} and rather than a \section{} command.
(In fact I think LaTeX/PDF are used primarily for printing and there is no
need to have so many hyperlinks).

Thirdly, for bare URLs,

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/PlannerMusePort

should be translated into

\href{http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/PlannerMusePort}{\url{http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/PlannerMusePort}}

The \url{} command allows line breaks. 

Lastly, Muse allows raw HTML tags, I wonder how they should be treated in
latex.  Maybe they should be stripped off?  Or maybe we should have #html or
#latex specials in muse files to allow flexible differential treatment?

Cheers,

Michael
