Wiki to L^aT_eX+PDF extension

I hacked together a Mediawiki extension that does very crude conversion to L^aT_eX and subsequently PDF using pdftex. Don't, I repeat, don't use it in a critical environment until I've had more time to clean up the code. Right now it is only a "quick fix" to get wikis with lots of math to L^aT_eX friendly form. Include the following line near the end of your "LocalSettings.php" file:

# Uncomment this if you don't have it already
# require_once( "includes/DefaultSettings.php" );

$wgWikiURL = "http://www.yourdomain.com";
require_once( "extensions/wikilatex/wikilatex.php" );

You will also need to create the directory extensions/wikilatex/tmp in your MediaWiki installation, and make it writable by PHP. Then download, rename to .php, and put this file in the appropriate Mediawiki directory. If there is more interest in this I'll consider putting more work into it. Tested with:

• MediaWiki: 1.9.2
• PHP: 5.2.1
