mod_http_admin_api: restructure group-related info in API - Return the members of the group right in the get_group_by_id call. This is an O(1) of extra work. - Remove the groups attribute from get_user_by_name as that is O(n) of work and rarely immediately needed. The replacement for the group membership information in the user is for now to use the group API and iterate; future work may fix that.

summary: Replace LaTeX markup in messages with embedded images
...

Introduction
============

This module intercepts messages between users and into chatrooms, and
attaches a links to a rendered version of any
[LaTeX](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX) in the message. This
requires client support for
[XHTML-IM](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0071.html), and fetching
images via HTTP.

This module was tested with the [Gajim](http://gajim.org/) client.

Details
=======

There is no configuration (yet). The module uses
[MathTran](http://www.mathtran.org/) to render the LaTeX.

Todo
====

-   Support for other rendering services (easy)
-   Provide a built-in rendering service (e.g. mimetex)
-   Send the images inline over XMPP (little client support at the
    moment)

Compatibility
