LaTeX can be used to typeset many kinds of different documents, but
|
|
typesetting chemical reactions is esthetically not very pleasing because
|
|
LaTeX's own arrows \rightarrow, \leftarrow and \rightleftharpoons which
|
|
you might use for this purpose are too short and the arrow heads are not
|
|
like the "standard" ones you will find in books or journals on chemistry.
|
|
|
|
The macro chemarrow.sty in conjunction with the font arrow.mf is supposed
|
|
to make the typesetting of chemical reaction schemes in LaTeX easier and
|
|
especially nicer looking.
|
|
|
|
This bundle consists of a font (available as metafont source,
|
|
metapost source, and generated type 1 versions), and a package
|
|
to use it. The arrows in the font are designed to look more
|
|
like those in chemistry text-books than do Knuth's originals.
