I'd like to see a possibility to translate WikiSyntax automatically into LaTeX.

There is a discussion about that on Tavi:PrintedDocuments.  WikkiTikkiTavi now includes this support, though it is not documented and seems still a tad buggy.

For the reverse (using LaTeX as part of one's wiki formatting rules), see LatexInWiki.

I've written a set of quick-and-dirty scripts that do this. More precisely, they translate a patois of UseMod WikiMarkup and simplified LaTeX into normal LaTeX. As an example, the page source of [http://biomail.ucsd.edu/bshanks-cgi/cs250b.pl?March30 this wiki page] was automatically translated into [http://bshanksserver.dyndns.org/hosting/cse250b/march30class.ps this .ps].

The script handles tables, colon-indentation, a few levels of headings, italics, bold, and <nowiki><pre></nowiki> tags. It also parses EasyLatex, a set of "shortcuts" that let you write LaTeX more quickly.  -- BayleShanks

A natural question would be: could you perhaps show us the script, Bayle? Thanks, WillemdeBruijn

VikiDeplate has an option to embed LaTeX and to convert documents to LaTeX.
