Afontain: fixup formatting

'''[https://github.com/matrix-org/pantalaimon/tree/master/ Pantalaimon]''' is a [https://matrix.org Matrix] proxy that handles end-to-end encryption support.

== Installation ==

It can be installed with the {{Pkg|pantalaimon}} package, and the <code>panctl</code> command line tool is in the {{Pkg|pantalaimon-ui}} package.

== Quickstart ==

There is two ways pantalaimon can be used: the first is to allow a bot access to an encryted room, and the second is allowing a human to use access an encrypted room with a client that doesn't support end to end encryption yet, like [https://www.matrix.org/docs/projects/client/fractal.html Fractal]. This wiki page currently only cover the second use case.

First, create a config file for pantalaimon at <code>~/.config/pantalaimon/pantalaimon.conf</code>:

[MyMatrixServer]
Homeserver = https://matrix.myserver.xyz
ListenAddress = localhost
ListenPort = 8009

This is the minimal configuration file, but <code>man 5 pantalaimon</code> will allow you to explore the various options.

Then launch <code>pantalaimon</code> as your user. You can then control it through dbus using <code>panctl</code>.

You should then log in using your regular Matrix client using <code>http://localhost:8009</code> as your server.
