Re: [DIYbio] Re: Standardized DIYbio report format? WAS: Endophyte isolation and first successful sequencing

Lots of journals already offer LaTex templates... so what's the best
interface to magically transform plaintext blocks? A web form with
blank text boxes and a submit button works, but it doesn't let people
come back and edit it. Bryan says mediawiki (wikipedia) is hard to
parse by a computer, but being a wiki which /does/ some formatting,
the wiki engine /must/ be parsing it. I don't think mediawiki
formatting is necessary though if we had a button to shove it all into
a PDF... the wiki would just serve as a way to enter and edit the
text. Leave the wiki unformatted save for some keywords to delineate
different blocks that are needed for the LaTex template.
