QDWL

Quick and Dirty Wiki to Latex is an home made script used to convert Wikimedia pages in Latex (that can be converted in pdf). To use this script, some special writing rules must be followed:

Source code syntax highlighting

• When you write code or bash script directly in the Wiki, you must use the automatic syntax highlighting feature with "source" tag; for example:

<source lang="c">
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    printf( "APF9328 says: Hello World ! ;-)\n" );
    exit(0);
}
</source>

will give you:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    printf( "APF9328 says: Hello World ! ;-)\n" );
    exit(0);
}

Insert image

To insert image, you must use the following syntax :

[[image:imagename.png|center|frame|'''figure <number>''' - ''legend title'']]

If QDWL find this syntax, it will download the picture and print the legend.
