Since a few weeks I’m working on a package using chemfig as a backend that allows a simple yet flexible input syntax for typesetting carbohydrates. My draft at this point allows the following: \documentclass{scrartcl} \usepackage{carbohydrates} \begin{document} \glucose[model=haworth,chain]\quad \glucose[model=fischer,chain]\quad \glucose[model=chair,ring] \end{document} which gives:
Over the past few months I have been working on version 1.0 of my chemnum package. The version seems to be ready now. However, before I publish it I would appreciate very much some feedback.
I have written a series of blog posts about chemistry and LaTeX in the German blog TeXwelt.de. The series covers the basics with chemmacros, reactions and formulae with chemformula and mhchem, skeletal formulae with chemfig, safety data, numbering of compounds, and special kinds of diagrams.
A few weeks ago Shinsaku Fujita submitted a new update of XyMTeX to CTAN. Why is this worth mentioning? Because of two (or three) reasons:

A version 4.0 of my package bundle chemmacros is coming nearer. The most notable difference will be that the chemformula package will be usable as a standalone package. This is not what I am going to ask you about. You may know that chemmacros provides some orbital pictures:
Some of you already know that I like to play the guitar in my spare time. And there is no such hobby that it cannot be combined with LaTeX. This is why there is my rather badly maintained musixguit package. But this isn’t what this post is about. I don’t …
Have you ever wondered how the inputenc package works? In this case you should read JLDiaz’ wonderful answer on TeX.sx:
I am a huge fan both of the fonts Linux Libertine O and Linux Biolinum O and Bob Tennent’s libertine package, and of Heiko Oberdiek’s hologo package that provides an easy interface to the lot of TeX related logos (many thanks to both Bob Tennent and Heiko Oberdiek for providing …
In one of the last posts I told you about my bohr package. In a comment the question came up how to draw Bohr models of atoms in an excited state.
