I have existing latex docs I want to include in TWiki. Does LatexModePlugin fully support latex or only a subset of it?

LatexModePlugin does support all of latex, assuming the server has access to a full texmf tree. Currently, the best way to get existing documents into TWiki is to transfer them by hand, or possibily preprocessing them with a line-by-line latex parser such as ltoh before hand polishing them for TWiki.

Currently, there is no latex-to-TWikiMarkup translator. And I see no clear, easy, path to get this accomplished. I've started a discussion here, TWiki:Codev.IncludeExistingLatexDocsInTWiki, in the hopes that some of the issues can be resolved soon.

Hm, is there any way to access and process attached .tex files via the LatexModePlugin? I guess the problem is how to ensure that there's nothing else in there than pure LaTeX. -- Sorry, I fear I didn't understand the problem yet. What exactly is meant by 'include in TWiki'?
