A system I plan to try using is to write in LaTeX (thereby getting 
top quality PDF), convert to HTML using latex2html, and then using 
html2wiki to generate Wiki pages:

http://search.cpan.org/~diberri/HTML-WikiConverter-0.68/bin/html2wiki

The only step I haven't tried yet is html2wiki, but the others are 
solid old tools by now.
