mod_c2s_conn_throttle: Reduce log level from error->info Our general policy is that "error" should never be triggerable by remote entities, and that it is always about something that requires admin intervention. This satisfies neither condition. The "warn" level can be used for unexpected events/behaviour triggered by remote entities, and this could qualify. However I don't think failed auth attempts are unexpected enough. I selected "info" because it is what is also used for other notable session lifecycle events.

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
