Merge 110ae95ce8 into 67743d5715

With the move of the config file, the command in CI did not work as
expected anymore.
I am unsure why Hugo actually ignored the missing config file in the
command…

To avoid this problem in the future and simplify the job, we use the
default config and add an environment variable for the status which will
always take precedence over the config.

+The room will be shown in the published room directory.
+
+`private`
+The room will be hidden from the published room directory.

+Clients can define a room's initial visibility in the directory via the `visibility`

+creation, clients can query and change a room's visibility in the directory through
+the endpoints listed below, provided that the server permits this.
+
+{{% boxes/warning %}}
+The visibility setting merely defines whether a room is included in the published
+room directory or not. It doesn't make any guarantees about the room's
+[join rule](#mroomjoin_rules) or [history visibility](#room-history-visibility).
+
+In particular, a visibility setting of `public` should not be confused with a `public`
+join rule. Rooms with a join rule of `knock`, for instance, could reasonably be published
+in the directory, too.
+
+Similarly, a visibility setting of `public` does not necessarily imply a `world_readable`
+history visibility.
+
+To increase performance, servers MAY apply additional filters when listing the
+directory, for instance, by automatically excluding rooms with `invite` join rules
+that are not `world_readable` regardless of their visibility.

+    A topic is a short message detailing what is currently being discussed
+    in the room.  It can also be used as a way to display extra information
+    about the room, which may not be suitable for the room name. The room
+    topic can also be set when creating a room using
+    [`/createRoom`](client-server-api/#post_matrixclientv3createroom), either
+    with the `topic` key or by specifying a full event in `initial_state`.
+  
     If the `topic` property is absent, null, or empty then the topic is unset. In other words,
     an empty `topic` property effectively resets the room to having no topic.
+
+    In order to prevent formatting abuse in room topics, clients SHOULD
+    limit the length of topics during both entry and display, for instance,
+    by capping the number of displayed lines. Additionally, clients SHOULD
+    ignore things like headings and enumerations (or format them as regular
+    text).
