A long wanted change to this blog and a consequence of moving this blog away from purely chemistry related topics to all things related to LaTeX was to change the url from mychemistry.eu to cnltx.de. There is not much more… Continue Reading →

Over the years I created a number of LaTeX packages some of which do keep me me quite busy and have gained a solid user base. Some I wish I’d never created, but well… Other packages have their place but… Continue Reading →

Foreword We all know the two floating environments [cci_latex]table[/cci_latex] and [cci_latex]figure[/cci_latex] which almost all document classes provide. Every once in a while there is the need for another floating environment. For example chemists often need something like a [cci_latex]scheme[/cci_latex] environment…. Continue Reading →

It has been quite a while since I first published exsheets – a package for creating exercise sheets with LaTeX – in Juni 2012. Since then it has gained a user base and a little bit of popularity as the… Continue Reading →

There have been some changes both on the frontend and the backend side of www.mychemistry.eu: The forums have been deactivated and removed. After one year of testing the feedback was so small that I decided to not longer maintain and… Continue Reading →

Version 5.6 (2016/05/02) of chemmacros comes with a whole bunch of improvements and changes – no breaking changes, though. Here’s an overview over the changes: [cci_latex]base[/cci_latex] module: comfortably adding support for [cci_latex]cleveref[/cci_latex] and [cci_latex]fancyref[/cci_latex] with [cci_latex]\ChemCleverefSupport[/cci_latex] and [cci_latex]\ChemFancyrefSupport[/cci_latex] [cci_latex]lang[/cci_latex] module:… Continue Reading →

As of version 5.5 the [cci_latex]chemmacros[/cci_latex] package includes a new module named polymers. Currently it mostly defines a few macros for usage in the [cci_latex]\iupac[/cci_latex] command (provided by the mandatory nomenclature module) such as [cce_latex]\NewChemIUPAC\copolymer {\textit{co}} \NewChemIUPAC\statistical{\textit{stat}} \NewChemIUPAC\random {\textit{ran}} \NewChemIUPAC\alternating{\textit{alt}}… Continue Reading →

I published version 5 of chemmacros nearly two months ago and so far the transition seems to have been a lot smoother than I anticipated. There have been a few support emails and posts on TeX/LaTeX stackexchange but nothing too… Continue Reading →

My leadsheets package is one of my newer packages. It seems to already have some fans – I get the occasional email asking for support and on github it has at the moment of writing 7 people who watch it… Continue Reading →
