Hi,
chemical structures and reactions produce wrong results. Here is one
example from the wiki and two from the manual.
\starttext
%% does not typeset the reaction, prints the commas, wrong spacing
%% and no arrow
\startformula
\chemical{2H_2,+,O_2,->,2H_2O}
\stopformula
%% same here, GIVES is not interpreted
\startformula
\chemical{A,GIVES,B,EQUILIBRIUM,C,MESOMERIC,D}
\stopformula
%% wrong alignment, rules overlay symbols
\startformula
\setupchemical
[width=fit,
height=fit,
scale=small,
size=small]
\startchemical
\chemical[ONE,Z0,DB1,SB46,MOV1,Z0,SB28][C,C]
\stopchemical
\startchemical
\chemical[SPACE,PLUS,SPACE]
\stopchemical
\startchemical
\chemical[ONE,Z0,SB146,Z6][N,H]
\stopchemical
\startchemical
\chemical[SPACE,GIVES,SPACE]
\stopchemical
\startchemical
\chemical[ONE,Z07,SB1357,MOV1,Z0,SB27,PB:Z2,ONE,Z0,SB13,PE][C,H,C,N]
\stopchemical
\stopformula
\stoptext
Am I missing something? Is this mechanism not supported any more or
just broken?
Marco

\startchemicalformula
not
\startformula
\startchemicalformula
\chemical{2H_2}
\chemical{PLUS}
\chemical{O_2}
\chemical{GIVES}
\chemical{2H_2O}
\stopchemicalformula
Also, the shorthand "+" for "PLUS", "->" for "GIVES", etc.
seems to be interpreted only inline, not in displayed chemical formula
mode.
I am working (with Hans) to correct the mkiv chemical code,
which has been completely re-written (from ppchTeX macros).
Also working on a new manual, at the same time...

The spacing is still wrong. Compare:
\starttext
\chemical{2H_2,+,O_2,->,2H_2O}\blank
\startchemicalformula
\chemical{2H_2}
\chemical{PLUS}
\chemical{O_2}
\chemical{GIVES}
\chemical{2H_2O}
\stopchemicalformula
\stoptext
How to mid-align the reaction? Wrapping the \startchemicalformula in
\startformula works, but it's clumsy.

That's brilliant!

\chemical{->} is not rendered correctly.

The spacing is wrong. The following yields to better spacing:
\startchemicalformula
\chemical{2H_2}
\chemical{PLUS}
\chemical{}
\chemical{O_2}
\chemical{GIVES}
\chemical{}
\chemical{2H_2O}
\stopchemicalformula

Same spacing problem, workaround: \chemical{}

Worse than before.

If you redo the syntax: My suggestion would be to try to reduce the
use of the string “chemical” if that's feasible.

That looks more practical.

I don't need that now. For the current project all structures look
fine (ugly hacks included :). You may consider my comments above
when you (or Hans) are redoing the code. Thanks for the
\startchemicalformula hint, that was the missing piece.

Sure. Unfortunately I cannot come, I can't get a week off and for
1-2 days it's too far.
