A question about the moin site

Hi all, we've just 'officially moved' ipython to a moin site similar to the scipy one, but I have a few questoins our site gurus may help with: 1. Figures: the scipy pages use for figures code like: {{{ #!figure ... }}} I tried that but it doesn't work out of the box. Is there something I can do on my side, or install in the wiki/ directory, for this to work? I'm sure it's something very simple, but googling hasn't revealed the magical incantation so far. 2. reST: is there an easy way to have moin link to reST documents and render them into HTML? Some of the new ipython docs (README, etc) are in reST and it would be great to show them nicely formatted on the site. 3. Latex: this parser seems very nice: http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/Projects/new-moinmoin-latex I'm currently testing it on the ipython moin, but perhaps the python process hasn't been reloaded, because so far it doesn't seem to work yet. I'll give it a bit more time (is there any signal one can send to some process to force a reload of moin when changes like this are being tested?). I was thinking it would be very nice to have reST and Latex support on the Scipy wiki as well, as I hope that in the long term, the scipy wiki should grow pages with detailed algorithmic and mathematical discussions, and for such, latex is necessary. Thanks for any help! Best, f

{{{#!rst reStructuredText ---------------- Paragraph. * bullet + another bullet }}} It works on www.scipy.org . However, some permissions seem to be wrong for ipython.scipy.org. mod_python can't read the CSS file inside the docutils package. Go ahead and bug Jeff about that. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco

For this syntax to work the sections parser needs to be installed. http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/SectionParser
3. Latex:
An alternative would be to use ASCIIMathML for formulae, it also understands LaTeX syntax, and there is an _almost_ WYSWYG editor for it here: http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/mathml/asciimathdemo.html The page about integration of ASCIIMathML into moin is here: http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MathMlSupport the page is a bit messy but the process as actually very simple, I have it implemented on our student wiki http://www.weizmann.ac.il/student-wiki/HelpOnMath so I can help with somewhat clearer instructions if you decide to use ASCIIMathML.
