Sorry i keep hitting reply and forget to include the cc to the list
I did write a very basic and short guide on using math mode to write
chemical formulae and
things like
CH
4
2+
Na
as in super / subscripts
and
1
H
1
Showing mass number / atomic number
will try and dig it out, if anything something like that is useful for
school chemistry students, I am sure there is a way to insert
/longarrow or similar and also put things on top of long arrow
e.g
catalyst
-------->
yeast
for example if you are writing about fermentation.
