Hi mailing-list... Peter Murray-Rust has suggested that I contact the Blue Obelisk Group at large for thoughts regarding the inclusion of InChi data on a blog page. I write a blog concerning recent publications in the total synthesis area of organic chemistry, where the focus is the discussion of strategy and reaction conditions. I take selected reactions/disconnections from the literature and redraw everything with ChemDraw, posting the schemes as JPEGs. However, I have had several requests to post InChi data for the structures. I don't want the data viewable to the readership at large, and I'm not sure what is the best way to include it.
At first I thought I might hide it in a hidden division of the code, but some browsers have problems with that, so what I've done is to put the InChi code into the ALT tag of the image containing the structures of relevance. So far, the blogging software I use (Wordpress 2.0) hasn't chewed up the InChi data, and I can see it from FireFox in the ALT tag on this page: http://totallysynthetic.com/blog/?p=762 There is only one instance, that of the third image in the actual post, http://totallysynthetic.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/sarain_a_2.jpg . Does the group think this is an appropriate method of including the data? I would appreciate any suggestions, but would like to emphasise my lack of infomatics/programming knowledge. I draw pretty structures and write about them... Thanks for reading the rambling of a pot-boiler!
