Unless people have some "religious" views prohibiting them from using
it - ConTeXt community already has a wiki which enables the use of
embded

<context>
\TeX\ commands $E=mc^2$
</context>

that display as pictures. Random example:
    http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table
As well as <texcode> syntax highlighting.

It should not be too hard to enable <xelatex> in addition to <context>
tags (although we have been discussing <xetex> tags for ages, but the
ratio requests/work has been too low) and I can istall additional
fonts if needed.

The problem with wikis such as one for XeTeX is always: you can write
maybe 100 pages, and then you run out of ideas what else to write. The
wiki of ConTeXt is way too empty.

Patrick should agree on the first place if we were to set up a new
wiki on its own or to enable XeTeX/LaTeX code in markup, but you can
basically start putting code on ConTeXt wiki right away if you want.
