mod_muc_markers: Prevent any markers from reaching the archive, even if untracked Original intention was to leave alone things that this module isn't handling. However markers in archives are just problematic without more advanced logic about what is markable and what is not. It also requires a more advanced query in mod_muc_rai to determine the latest markable message instead of the latest archived message. I'd rather keep the "is archivable" and "is markable" definition the same for simplicity. I don't want to introduce yet another set of rules for no reason. No markers in MAM.

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
