[TYPO3-mvc] Fluid and LaTeX

[mario chiari]

Hello

I am trying to use fluid/extbase to output a .tex/.pdf file.
More or less it works. 

I define a template tex.html with lines of code like: 

\begin{tabular}{ll}  %LaTeX table command
<f:for each="{autores}" as="autore">  
{autore.nome} & {autore.nota} & 
<f:count subject="{autore.book}" /> books
</f:for> \end{tabular}
                                                                                                                         
I have a couple of questions: 

1, It seems that fluid tries to render any string between {}, so
{tabular} and {ll} are just erased. I fixed it by
$this->view->assign('tabular','{tabular}');                                                                                       
$this->view->assign('ll', '{ll}');
But it is a dirty trick, and I need to do it for any LaTeX command. Is
there a more elegant way? 

2. is it possible to use .tex as a template extension? More important, I
am not sure how to force extabase to do two actions - say usual
listAction and my texAction - at the same time. 
3. how do I get rid of <div class="tx-myext"> from the rendered
template?

thanks so much
