why does \startchemical take the name of a instance as argument (e.g. \startchemical[important]) when there is no way to create it because \definechemical is redefined and the original version isn’t saved.
Even \setupchemical[important][..,..=..,..] can’t be used because it doesn’t resolve the parent setting.
I did not realize that \startchemical took the name of an instance as argument - I have only used it with key=value, i.e.: \startchemical[...=...] I suppose that it uses some "standard" mechanisms. \definechemical[benzene] is different. It gets used as: \startchemical \chemical[benzene,...] \stopchemical Perhaps there is some inconsistency with respect to ConTeXt syntax here. Alan
