some PPCHTeX code wouldn't work
Dear readers, the code in question was the following: -------------------------- \documentclass{article} \usepackage{etex} %\usepackage{pstricks,pstcol,pst-plot} \usepackage{m-pictex,color} \usepackage{m-ch-de} \begin{document} % C3-Aldose, Bindungen der Aldehydgruppe rot \startchemical {\color{red}{\chemie[SIX,SB2,DB3]}}% \chemie[SIX,Z234,SUB2,ONE,Z015,SB1,SB3,SB5,SB7,% MOV3,Z0][H,C,O,C,OH,H,\SL{CH_2OH}] \stopchemie % C3-Aldose, Atome der Aldehydgruppe rot \startchemical \chemie[SIX,SB2,DB3]% {\color{red}{\chemie[SIX,Z234][H,C,O]}}% \chemie[SIX,SUB2,ONE,Z015,SB1,SB3,SB5,SB7,% MOV3,Z0][C,OH,H,\SL{CH_2OH}] \stopchemie -----------------------
, the error message was: "ppchtex.tex:3390: undefined control sequence" He uses an actual MikTeX (again, only problems with this, we should mark it red in the wiki...) His file ppchtex.tex ends like:
\def\cpos#1#2% {\iftrialtypesetting #2% \else \bgroup \globalpushmacro\dowithchemical <--------3390
\gdef\dowithchemical##1{\hpos{#1}{##1}\globalpopmacro\dowithchemical}% #2% \egroup \fi}
\fi \protect \endinput
Tobias Hilbricht answered, the code would work with his ppchtex.tex version from TeX Live 2003, there line 3390 (second line from the end) had only a lonely "\fi", but the file is 3kB bigger,
With Tobias' file it worked at Thomas. Thomas downloaded the file from pragma-ade.nl, and it doesn't work again.
I told him to ask at the PPCHTeX list, see above.
Further Thomas wanted to draw seven-rings, and that seems not supported by PPCHTeX.
Perhaps this helps to solve this problem with PPCHTeX. Yours sincerely Tobias Hilbricht
