GUI with full 16 bit Unicode (recommended way)

1. Get wb2pdf https://sourceforge.net/projects/wb2pdf/files/ Download wb2pdf_6.3-1_i386.deb in the 6.3 folder
2. Doubleclick the deb file
3. Click the Install Button. This will take a very long time and the progress bar will move very slowly since more than 1GByte has to be downloaded for the ubuntu servers. So please be patient. It is important that you click the Install button only once, particularly since the progress bar might disappear during the installation. You may also use the system monitor to look how the installation proceeds.
4. to start the GUI run the following command line:

   wb2pdf
   

Command Line with limited Unicode

1. Get wb2pdf https://sourceforge.net/projects/wb2pdf/files/ Download mediawiki2latex_6.4-3_i386.deb in the 6.4 folder
2. Doubleclick the deb file
3. Click the Install Button. This will take a very long time and the progress bar will move very slowly since more than 1GByte has to be downloaded for the ubuntu servers. So please be patient. It is important that you click the Install button only once, particularly since the progress bar might disappear during the installation. You may also use the system monitor to look how the installation proceeds.
4. run the program from the command line:

   mediawiki2latex
   

Microtype

If you want microtypographic features, which is usually not the case and requires much more skill to install, you may want to use pdflatex with the prodtrusion and expasion features. Look at Benutzer:Dirk Huenniger/wb2pdf/ubuntu microtype in this case.
