Howdy,

It should work with any Cocoa application that accepts services; e.g., it also works with iChat.

Good Luck,

The "hint" here is that Adium displays (La)TeX without any user intervention. The screenshot and hint are a little less than clear, but Adium will call Equation Service to render any text enclosed in $$...$$, whether you send or receive it. It will not render a PDF and send it to your buddy.

The "this works in iChat too" trick is to use Equation Service as it was intended. Select some text, send it to ES (cmd <), and then paste the rendered PDF it into the chat.

took me a few minutes to figure this out, so know that in order to activate this feature, you need to typeset using '$$':

$$ \int_a^b f(x) dx $$

should work.

I am trying to use Equation Service with iChat. It might work, but it's not quite working yet. First, latin characters are remplaced with black framed rectangles (yet maths characters work: \alpha will work, but a plain number or letter 2 or a will not). Second, transparency doesn't work when I command-drag the result: it shows a black-filled rectangle in iChat :(.

Any clue on how to make it work? TeXShop works fine with test documents.

This no longer works as of Adium post 1.0.6 (last version it works with) because the Adium devs removed the code in Adium that made it work. They want to make LaTeX a separate plugin--which is understandable, but this is not noted in the changelogs for Adium AND it's 4 months later and at least the old version of the plugin is not available for installation with updated Adium.
