mod_vcard_muc: Add an alternative method of signaling avatar change When the avatar has been changed, a signal is sent that the room configuration has changed. Clients then do a disco#info query to find the SHA-1 of the new avatar. They can then fetch it as before, or not if they have it cached already. This is meant to be less disruptive than signaling via presence, which caused problems for some clients. If clients transition to the new method, the old one can eventually be removed. The namespace is made up while waiting for standardization. Otherwise it is very close to what's described in https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/muc-avatars.html

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
