Hi!
Does anyone know of a chat program where you can use latex or something similiar to typeset math in a chat? Like this forum, but live...

Thanks in advance,
Nille

Thanks for responding!
However, I was more thinking of a chat client, like ICQ, MSN, IRC or similiar.

Thanks again,
Nille

I did a google search and came up with nothing. It is a very good idea. Perhaps if someone wrote such a program, it would be the next killer app for scientist, mathematicians and engineers..

That is to bad! But is there a TeX rendering library available somewhere? Not a tex2dvi compiler, but a renderer... for java, perhaps?

Sorry, couldn't find anything of that sort.
