+#summary Redirect long messages to built-in pastebin
+#labels Stage-Stable
+
+= Introduction =
+
+Pastebins are used very often in IM, especially in chat rooms. You have a long log or command output which you need to send to someone over IM, and don't want to fill their message window with it. Put it on a pastebin site, and give them the URL instead, simple.
+
+Not for everyone... no matter how hard you try, people will be unaware, or not care. They may also be too lazy to visit a pastebin. This is where mod_pastebin comes in!
+
+= Details =
+
+When someone posts to a room a "large" (the actual limit is configurable) message, Prosody will intercept the message and convert it to a URL pointing to a built-in pastebin server. The URLs are randomly generated, so they can be considered for most purposes to be private, and cannot be discovered by people who are not in the room.
+
+= Usage =
+
+To set up mod_pastebin for MUC rooms it *must* be explicitly loaded, as in the example below - it won't work when loaded globally, as that will only load it onto normal virtual hosts.
+
+For example:
+{{{
+Component "conference.example.com" "muc"
+    modules_enabled = { "pastebin" }
+}}}
+
+Pastes will be available by default at `http://<your-prosody>:5280/pastebin/` by default. This can be changed with `pastebin_ports` (see below), or you can forward another external URL from your web server to Prosody, use `pastebin_url` to set that URL.
+
+= Configuration =
+||pastebin_ports||List of ports to run the HTTP server on, same format as mod_httpserver's http_ports||
+||pastebin_threshold||Maximum length (in characters) of a message that is allowed to skip the pastebin. (default 500 characters)||
+||pastebin_line_threshold||The maximum number of lines a message may have before it is sent to the pastebin. (default 4 lines)||
+||pastebin_trigger||A string of characters (e.g. "!paste ") which if detected at the start of a message, always sends the message to the pastebin, regardless of length. (default: not set)||
+||pastebin_url||Base URL to display for pastebin links, must end with / and redirect to Prosody's built-in HTTP server||
+||pastebin_expire_after||Number of hours after which to expire (remove) a paste, defaults to 24. Set to 0 to store pastes permanently on disk.||
+
+= Compatibility =
+||0.9||Works, but pastebin_ports does not exist anymore, see the 0.9.0 release notes||
+||0.8||Works||
+||0.7||Works||
+||0.6||Works||
+
+= Todo =
+
+  * Maximum paste length
+  * Web interface to submit pastes?
