\chemical{} + \title{}

\chemical{} + \title{}

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi,

I'd like to typeset a chemical compound in a \chapter. However, when I
try so, all elements are shown in italics.

Example:
-------------------
\usemodule[chemic]
\title{Chemical \chemical{La_{1-x}Ca_xCoO_3}}
Chemical \chemical{La_{1-x}Ca_xCoO_3}
\end
-------------------

Any ideas? (In principle, the "x" in the subscripts should be italic,
but I can use \it for this; as long as titles and non-titles are treated
alike, I'm happy.)

You can check the ideas on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Chemistry.

This is indeed a possibility. But I still regard it as bug that PPCHTeX
uses italic in the title. (The title itself is *not* italic, I'm also
not asking that the font/style should follow the surrounding text,
though a \setupchemical option which toggles this would be great.)

(Using \molecule as defined in the wiki is an alternative; your problem
was different as you wanted the symbol to follow the style of the
surrounding text. This would work as well here, but is actually the
solution for a different problem.)

Tobias,
who will now use \molecule{}.
