show-paren-local-mode #emacs

Today I found the solution to a small annoyance I have had for a while: in general while programming I like Emacs' 'show-paren-mode', but when I use jabber.el, I don't. So I was toggling it on and off, as it's a global setting - until I learned that the solution is:

(add-hook 'jabber-chat-mode-hook (lambda ()
                                   (show-paren-local-mode -1))

'show-paren-local-mode' been there since Emacs 28.1, released in 2021. I'm running 31. Hah!

I have chosen to use a more old school method of spam prevention.
