Can you link to the example? I've been interested in doing something like this, but as far as I can tell, you can only read messages using the Graph API; there's no method for sending messages.

Can I just add $$x^2$$ to my text and have KaTeX render it automatically (like MathJax does), or do I have to use katex.render() directly?

You can have something like this in your .bashrc:

    multitail() {
        com="tail -f "

        for arg; do
            IFS=':' read -a array <<< "$arg"
            host="${array[0]}"
            file="${array[1]}"

            com="$com <(ssh -t $host 'tail -f $file')"
        done

        eval ${com}
    }

This will take the host:file syntax of remtail and turn it into Plugawy's example. I haven't tested it, but if you echo "$com" it'll spit out Plugawy's code.

That's because the element only contains "LKML: " on the thread, and "LKML.ORG - the Linux Kernel Mailing List Archive" on the main page.<p>Maybe they forgot to keep the "unofficial" in the title?</p> </article> <article> <h1>New comment by vlad003 in "YouTube Ditches Flash, and It Hardly Matters"</h1> <p>vlad003 — Sat, 07 Feb 2015 06:37:01 +0000</p> <p>It's possible the false sense of security is worth more than people think.
