Hi,
lets see if I get you right:
- you have a set of 4000 .txt files which contain nothing else but latex
- you want to include those files into other wiki pages (including syntax highlighting)
- you want to be able to edit those latex files by using the wiki (to keep track of their modifications)
- you don`t want to list those latex files in the index
to achieve that, you could try the following (though I am not sure if it wouldn`t be better to use a version control system like darcs or subversion):
- first I would put the latex text files in their own namespace means a directory inside data/pages/
(i.e. <dokuwiki>/data/pages/<namespace name>/)
- to include those files into other pages (including syntax highlighting) you could use the source plugin [1], however there won`t be
any edit buttons, you would have to browse to the sourced pages itself giving the right URL (see below)
AND the output of
these pages (while they`re not sourced via the source plugin) would look like rubbish because DW would try to parse them, I am not
sure if you can edit/save them via DokuWiki either, in regards to linebreaks/tabs etc.
- if your latex files follow a decent naming scheme and in case you put them into a namespace in DWs data dir it would be easy to
hide them from the index/search/recent changes/rss via the "hidepages" configuration option [2] (it takes a regular expression,
though you can`t hide them from the index only)
Maybe a combination of both, Wiki for all the non latex stuff, and a CVS for the latex files and the source plugin would be the best I can think of.
