See here for instance > http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PublishPDF I just had a look, but I don't understand. Could one write directly latex code in that wiki? It seems not to be the case.

In all wiki (mediawiki etc), when you edit a page an internal (crude) editor is opened, which when saving warns you about possible conflict due to simultaneous editing. Now if you want to use your favourite editor I know of two solutions. - ee (which is a perl script). This will circumvent the internal editor and directly opens the editor of your choice: vi, emacs, lyx etc. The problem is it does not warn you about conflict. - mozex: (http://mozex.mozdev.org). For firefox, seamonkey. This first openens the internal editor, but then when starting it it openes the editor of your choice. You edit you save and then again you save withing the internal editor. The advantage is that you are warned about conflicts. Uwe
