Re: [NTG-context] ppchTeX

      Dear Alan,

thanks a lot for fixed code.  Could you point out where to find the
updated manual for MkIV?

Cheers,
Henri

Dear list,
I just wanted to check whether chemical structures typeset in ConTeXt
can be exported as XML.  Therefore I wanted to setup a simple example
with ppchTeX.  I copied example 3.1 from the manual [1]
...
\usemodule[chemic]
\starttext
\startchemical[height=4500,bottom=2500]
  \bottext{$\beta$-D-Fructopyranose}
  \chemical[SIX,FRONT,BB1236,+SB4,-SB5,Z5][O]
  \chemical[SIX,FRONT,+R12346,+RZ12346][\SR{HO},H,H,H,OH]
  \chemical[SIX,FRONT,-R12346,-RZ12346][H,OH,\SR{HO},H,CH_2OH]
\stopchemical
\stoptext
Unfortunately, typesetting with MkIV distributed with TL 2016 produces
something really weird (see attached).
Is the module `chemic` compatible with MkIV or am I doing something
wrong?
Cheers,
Henri

\usemodule[chemic] is MKII. It has been replace with core MKIV commands.
The syntax has been somewhat rationalized and many bugs corrected.
The example can be reproduced as follows:
\starttext
\startchemical [height=4500,bottom=2500]
  \bottext{$\beta$-D-Fructopyranose}
  \chemical[SIXFRONT,BB123,B4,+SB5,-SB6,Z6] [O]
  \chemical[+LR12345,LRZ12345] [OH,\SR{HO},H,H,H]
  \chemical[+RR12345,RRZ12345] [CH_2OH,H,\SL{OH},\SR{HO},H]
\stopchemical
\stoptext
Unfortunately, the revised manual still has some errors that I need to
fix...
