+File: TexImg standard preamble changed
+
+The [[plugins/teximg]] [[plugin]] now has a configurable LaTeX preamble.
+As part of this change the `mchem` LaTeX package has been removed from
+the default LaTeX preamble as it wasn't included in many TeX installations.
+
+The previous behaviour can be restored by adding the following to your ikiwiki setup:
+
+    	teximg_prefix => '\documentclass{scrartcl}
+    		\usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}
+    		\usepackage{amsmath}
+    		\usepackage{amsfonts}
+    		\usepackage{amssymb}
+    		\pagestyle{empty}
+    		\begin{document}',
+
+In addition, the rendering mechanism has been changed to use `dvipng` by default.
+If you would like to return to the old rendering mechanism using `dvips` and `convert`
+then you should add the following line to your ikiwiki setup:
+
+    	teximg_dvipng => 0,
+
+The LaTeX postfix is unchanged, but is also now configurable using `teximg_postfix`.
+Happy TeXing.
