I just downloaded it, set it up, and gave it a test run. It appears there are still some bugs to iron out because all it did was generate a blank /wptex/index.php page and nothing else. I left a comment on the developer’s blog to that effect, so hopefully he’ll release an updated version soon. This is a fabulous idea, and I’d love to see it really grow legs.
Heh, one of my best friends LOVES LaTeX, and goes on and on about it for his university projects. I haven’t quite got round to looking into it, but I’ve seen the work he produces, and it looks VERY professional. It’s good to know there’s this funky tool available for people thinking of publishing their blogs for instance. It’s a good basis to start from even if there are a few bugs. Especially for the LaTeX newbies like myself!
@Jim : Thank you! You’ve been heard and I’m working on the issue. Actually it’s a first release and I used it successfully on a blog I’ve been managing. You can check the produced PDF –okay, it’s a possible style and you can tweak and customize at will here: http://nos-astuces.com/dl/4
or I guess I should say, this would be great for a Static Content blog.
If the content is constantly being updated, however, this would be alot of work.
Is there a protection feature to keep the document original? This is the only on coming to my consideration when using pdf generator. I always want keep a document as is.
An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.
This sounds like an awesome tool for someone that has a blog devoted to one or two specific subjects and has a ton of informative posts.

Thank you all for the feedback and the ideas!
That is a cool idea. not appropriate for a personal blog, but like you said, for a University, or for a thesis type blog, this would ba a great idea.

Well, with a little tweak, and pdflatex installed on the server, a cron job may make nice things See what I mean?
A last thing: The project is now hosted on google code, so any help is really welcome
