# DESCRIPTION #
###############
This is a plugin for Pidgin [1] that allows you to display LaTeX [2] output in your IMs or Chats.
################
# REQUIREMENTS #
################
- the pidgin header files (needed to compile the plugin)
- a LaTex-Distribution
- dvipng [3]
#############
# IMPORTANT #
#############
this plugin is not compatible with gaim-encryption plugin. If you have this plugin, please be sure not having the 2 working at the same time. (for any other imcompability, please contact qjuh@users.sourceforge.net )
#############################
# BUILDING and INSTALLATION #
#############################
To build and install :
You can compile the plugin using
$ make
and install it with
$ make install
This will install it in ~/.purple/plugins so that only the user who install it can use it.
To install it for everybody on your computer,
$ make
$ su
# make install PREFIX="/path/to/pidgin" (this command as root user)
generally /path/to/pidgin is /usr or /usr/local. If you don't know the path then you can find out using
$ whereis pidgin
and look for the part before "/lib/pidgin".
#########
# USAGE #
#########
put LaTeX code into $$ ... $$ markup, for example $$x \in \mathbb{R}$$
########
# NOTE #
########
To everyone updating from earlier versions than 1.3: you don't need ImageMagick anymore for this plugin to work.
Instead this plugin uses dvipng [3], so please install it, if you don't already have it.
