Name of contribution: chemmacros
Author's name: Clemens Niederberger
Package version: 4.3
Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/chemmacros/
Summary description: A collection of macros to support typesetting
chemistry documents
License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
chemmacros:
- new commands NewChemIUPAC, LetChemIUPAC, NewChemParticle
NewChemNMR, NewChemPhase, NewChemReaction, RenewChemReaction
NewChemState
- added macro names with more meaningfule names to each of the
one-letter name commands
- changed behaviour of DeclareChem<...> to match
DeclareRobustCommand, i.e., no check if command is defined; added
a NewChem variant to each that /does/ check; use NewChem<...>
instead of DeclareChem<...> for definitions
- new iupac command dento
- new option choice `nmr/pos=super'
- bug fix in appearance of coupling nuclei
- new possibilities for formatting the output of the NMR coupling
constants output with J:
`coupling-pos=side/sub', `coupling-nuclei-pre',
`coupling-nuclei-post', `coupling-bonds-pre',
`coupling-bonds-post', `coupling-symbol'
- internal changes to the greek letter mapping selection mechanism
- deprecate package option `strict'
- deprecate package option `cmversion': also all backwards
compatibility for version 1 has been dropped
- drop command mhName
chemformula:
- changed behaviour of DeclareChem<...> to match
DeclareRobustCommand, i.e., no check if command is defined; added
a NewChem variant to each that /does/ check; use NewChem<...>
instead of DeclareChem<...> for definitions
- new option stoich-print
- new command chstoich
chemgreek:
- rename Chem<name => chem<name>, the old names will issue warnings
but still work
- new mappings `textalpha' (cf the package with the same name, part
of `greek-fontenc')
- chemgreek_new_mapping:nnn redefined so that package name must be
given if needed; chemgreek_activate_mapping:n now issues a warning
if the needed package hasn't been loaded
- if hyperref has been loaded with package option `unicode' and the
`textalpha' package has been loaded, too, we can use greek letters
in PDF bookmarks
- new command printchemgreekmapping
- showchemgreekmapping now writes information to the log instead of
the file
archivist's commment: whew!
