I've been already pointed to LatexWiki, wich seems to do the job. It will 
need some tweaking and hacking, but nothing big.

Well, there is latex2pdf, if all other fails, I can use that to produce PDF 
files. It wont be pretty and elegant, but it will work...

I just hate Java, so Zope being based on Pythong is just another item on 
Zope's 'pros' list. 

Well, thank you very much (and the rest of the people who answered my

I've got you guys :).
