Hello,

I did not know it until your previous email and then I googled finding it...

I only know that pandoc is recommended and whenever I use it and it does not work, I google to see whether I have to tune options. I don't find it interesting to learn or memorize these trivial things.

By the way, I need to turn on the option '-s' to make (French) accents properly processed.

There are options mathml, mathjax, webjax, but I don't understand the difference. However, if I pass the Gamma function page loc. cit. to pandoc with these options, it will either complain errors in LaTeX codes, or generate codes but some formulae won't be rendered. Seemingly I need to \usepackage in some fashion.

Best wishes,

`pandoc` has an option for MediaWiki, though. (I have only used
`pandoc` to convert very simple documents, so I cannot judge the
quality, but it seems to me that `pandoc` is recommended by many people)

Thanks, with the right option for MediaWiki, I now manage to generate
a reasonably good-looking conversion to LaTeX. The Html converter
ignores all mathematical formulas. Both converters ignore footnotes,
which is disappointing if we want to use it for reading Wikipedia pages.

By the way, conversion from LaTeX to html seems to be also painful.
tex4ht breaks quite often, although I usually use it to convert math
papers to ebooks to push on Kindles to read - when it works, it is
okay. At least theoretically, texmacs does better - it has a much
more regular syntax than LaTeX.

Yes, in my modest opinion the best converter from LaTeX to Html is ...
TeXmacs ;^)

The Html + MathML generated by TeXmacs is also quite good;
for about 10 years, this was not supported by browsers,
so I had to re-import the MathML into TeXmacs for checking.
But recent versions of Firefox seem to support MathML.

Best wishes, --Joris
