package includes a new module named polymers. Currently it mostly defines a few macros for usage in the \iupac
command (provided by the mandatory nomenclature module) such as
\NewChemIUPAC\copolymer {\textit{co}}
\NewChemIUPAC\statistical{\textit{stat}}
\NewChemIUPAC\random {\textit{ran}}
\NewChemIUPAC\alternating{\textit{alt}}
\NewChemIUPAC\periodic {\textit{per}}
\NewChemIUPAC\block {\textit{block}}
\NewChemIUPAC\graft {\textit{graft}}
\NewChemIUPAC\statistical{\textit{stat}}
\NewChemIUPAC\random {\textit{ran}}
\NewChemIUPAC\alternating{\textit{alt}}
\NewChemIUPAC\periodic {\textit{per}}
\NewChemIUPAC\block {\textit{block}}
\NewChemIUPAC\graft {\textit{graft}}
chemfig
package. In the chemfig
manual there is presented some code defining the macros \setpolymerdelim
and \makebraces
which allows users to add polymer parentheses to formulas. The polymers module now defines a macro \makepolymerdelims
based on this very idea and adds a few options for customization.
If you have further ideas and suggestions what the polymers module should or could include please feel free to comment here or to drop me an email.
