Confluence & LaTeX plugin: Suitable for writing journal papers (e.g. IEEE, ASME)?

[Greg Vernon]

Community members,

We're investigating tools to support collaborative development of journal papers using LaTeX.  Are any of the various LaTeX plugins / macros / tools for confluence suitable for this?  To be clear, we're not looking for embedding a single equation or small paragraph, but rather being able to add packages and stylesheets to our confluence distribution as needed and then typesetting an entire document.  

How do we setup confluence for this?  Is confluence the right tool for the job or is there a better tool?
