I’ve been working on chemmacros for a while now and finally have submitted v2.0 to CTAN. There have been quite some changes. The most notable one: chemmacros v2.0 is not backwards compatible, unfortunately. However, a package option \usepackage[version=1]{chemmacros} is provided, which restores all deleted commands, so that you can still compile your documents set with v1.*.
What’s new?
- customization via a key-value system
- a better handling of real charges vs. formal charges
- a far more flexible handling of oxidation numbers
- displaying of orbitals
- a few new macros
- bug fixes
Some examples:
