# 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.
