GMailTeX/GmailChatTeX: LaTeX plugins for GMail and GChat

We grad students have been searching for this for ages, and I've found these plugins to be very robust so far. Here's a direct link to the GChat script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/98930

Points to remember:

# Chats must be popped-out

# You press F8 to render the TeX in emails, either composing or receiving

# "Auto-mode" means that TeX is rendered in real time as you compose.

Could this be turned into a plugin for Google Docs as well? It'd be handy to have a cloud-based LaTeX tool, as an alternative to a local-machine install.

Maybe check: LaTeX Lab is an open source implementation of a web based LaTeX editor for Google Docs.

In case you were wondering, the receiver of the email needs to have this installed as well:

"GmailTeX does not modify any of your emails on the Google server, or the emails that you send out. It only changes the presentation in your browser. The recepients of your emails also need GmailTeX or other typesetting system to view the math."
