Chemic seems to work with apparently the same results in mkii and mkiv. I am using this with mkiv without being too demanding for the moment... This package may have a small user base, but it appears to be rather unique. In order to progress, it must not sleep but be put to use. Note, however, that I am not a chemist and so do not write very many chemical structures and formulae. The big problem for scientific writers is that publishers at very best will accept plain LaTeX. A notable exception is the American Physical Society who developed revTeX, a LaTeX package well suited to their publishing style. The American Chemical Society will accept plain LaTeX. Often, other scientific publishers as for Word! Also, we need to contribute more pages like http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Posting_on_arxiv.org Indeed, I had terrible problems submitting texts to arxiv as their system identifies the source as TeX but fails to process it.
