h1. Document Creation Process

In order to allow distributed and convenient editing using the wiki 

*AND* producing documents with high quality typesetting, the document creation process 

as depicted in the following figure is implemented. 

!process.png(Document Creation Process)!

h2. Editing in Wiki 

The primary editing is performed in the present Wiki, which uses the

"Textile":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_%28markup_language%29 markup as 

explained "here":http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineTextFormatting.

In order to allow an automated conversion to and processing with LaTeX, the following issues MUST be considered:

# Each Wiki-page is converted to a corresponding .tex file 

# h1.-h3. correspond to \section{ }-\subsubsection{ } 

# References to literature MAY be included, but they MUST be included as link with brackets [ ] around the "LABEL" (e.g. "[BSI-TR-03112-7]":http://docs.ecsec.de/BSI-TR-03112-7),

where the LABEL SHOULD be defined in an appropriate BibTeX-file. 

h2. Export

The export of the Textile source to an appropriate .tex file and the provision of embedded pictures MAY be performed manually.

In the long turn there SHOULD be an automated export of the Wiki-pages as explained "here":http://stbuehler.de/blog/article/2011/06/04/exporting_redmine_wiki_pages.html for example.

h2. Textile to LaTeX conversion

The Textile-markup from the Wiki can be converted to LaTeX using "RedCloth":http://redcloth.org/.

h2. LaTeX-Post-Processing

In order to support references to documents (e.g. "[BSI-TR-03112-7]":http://docs.ecsec.de/BSI-TR-03112-7), intra-Wiki-Links and 

the inclusion of pretty-printed XML- or Java-code (e.g. <pre><code class="xml"><xml> ... </xml></code></pre>), the raw LaTeX document needs to be cleaned up with "awk":https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awk.  

This includes the following replacements: 

<pre><code>1. <pre><code class="XXX"> --> \begin{minted}[bgcolor=bg]{XXX}

2. </code></pre>           --> \end{minted}

3. "[LABEL]":http://url    --> \cite{LABEL}

4. [[WikiRef]]             --> ...

</code></pre>

h2. Document Compilation

Finally the LaTeX sources are compiled to produce a nice pdf-document for example.
