When posting chemical equations, formulae, etc. the staff at Hypograhy suggest that you utilize our LaTeX chemistry package for your convenience, and for the consistency of the threads in the chemistry forum.

The end tag is [/ce] while the opening tag is [ce]. Anything between those two will be translated with TeX.

The following examples of script will be rendered when in-between the tags:

C6H12O6 renders as

CrO4^{-2} renders as

^{235}_{92}U renders as

Reaction arrows: , , can be rendered with ->, <-, and <=> respectively.

These are the basics, but, the standard TeX commands may also be used within the [ce] tags. So please see our LaTeX thread here for more details:

Also, as always, placing your curser over rendered LaTeX will reveal the original script.

Feel free to use this thread for practice!

Nice job, MB!

For those who didn't catch the fact that MB put the end tags first in his example (since it would have rendered if he'd put them in the proper order), I have edited his quote to show exactly what he meant:

[ce]CrO4^{-2}[/ce] renders as

[ce]^{235}_{92}U[/ce] renders as

To MB: You can do what I did, showing the tags exactly as they're supposed to appear, by surrounding the [ce] tags in [noparse] tags.

Ahhh. Thank you very much Infinite.

Is the latex package you use free? cause i might want to use that for my website :P

I currently use of Math latex, but don't have a chemistry based one

it's a package for latex, you know how you define packages to use in a general latex file, well, the chem package is just one of those packages... you can probably find it, it's called mhchem i believe.
