[xwiki-users] wiki to latex

[Vincent Massol]

I forgot to mention one thing.

I'm currently working on writing a Maven Doxia parser for XWiki. Since  
Doxia has a Latex sink this means that it's going to be possible to  
convert xwiki pages to latex very easily.

I'll keep you posted. I should have a first version of it ready in 1  
or 2 weeks.

Thanks
-Vincent
