Writing or using a formatter is the way to go as it allows you to use the 
MoinMoin Wikimarkup parser. The dom/xml parser should work for the most 
cases. Right now we are releasing Moin 1.3. So if you have the time wait 
until 1.3 is released you can use the new 1.4 development branch then. 
New Formatters for LaTeX and PDF are already on our Todo list for 1.4 
But we do not have a developer/voluteer for doing the work yet. I would 
appreciate if you would do some work in this direction. I would suggest 
that you create a page in the MoinMoin wiki about what you are planning to 
do. Most discussion between the developers is done in the wiki.

Although I won't have to time to do work in this direction (trying to 
finninsh my master thesis) you are always welcome to ask questions.

The dom/xml formatter is the only formatter right now that reorders tags 
to get the nesting right. If you need this the dom(xml formatter ist the 
right place to start.

If you did not yet do you should ahve a look at
