mod_client_management: Include client software version number in listing Should you ever wish to revoke a client by version number, e.g. for security reasons affecting certain versions, then it would be good to at the very least see which version is used. Also includes the OAuth2 software ID, an optional unique identifier that should be the same for all installations of a particular software.

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)
