These systems are cumbersome > and > difficult to use. Mhchem was developed as a solution for typesetting chemical > equations, and comes with a quite intuitive syntax, e.g.: > > \ce{HCl + H2O -> Cl- + H3O+} > > It would be nice if we could use this package in the math environment, i.e. > <math>\ce{C6H12O6 ->M[\Delta] 6C + 6H2O}</math>. Additionally, creating a > <chem> > parser hook to automatically put the expression into \ce{} would offer nice > convenience. Yes, that'd be nice... but perhaps the best possible solution would be to have a <tex></tex> tag in addition, which will be agnostic as to what kind of TeX input it's getting. Then you can use *normal TeX markup in <tex>, including $...$ etc for math and \ce{} for chem *math markup in <math>, including \text{} for text and \ce{} for chem *mhchem markup in <chem>, including $...$ etc for math and \text{} for text -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
