I'm not sure I see why this would be terribly difficult to implement with web2py. Of course, it would be more than just a generic wiki ... You would probably need separate special entries for preamble snippets. I'm not a latex user (I used to be an nroff/troff expert), but I imagine certain order dependencies might require that the app enable the user to specify the order of the snippets. As for choosing a path through the wiki and compiling a full latex doc, I don't see why you couldn't start a recording and keep track of urls during the recording phase. Then end recording and print. Maybe even have a page for displaying and reordering the recorded pages. I'm sure there are many nuances I'm missing, here, but it sounds like a cool app.
