Description:
Currently, most chemical equations are represented in plain text or LaTeX (if
there are complicated arrows, ions or symbols). These systems are cumbersome and
difficult to use. Mhchem was developed as a solution for typesetting chemical
equations, and comes with a quite intuitive syntax, e.g.:
\ce{HCl + H2O -> Cl- + H3O+}
It would be nice if we could use this package in the math environment, i.e.
<math>\ce{C6H12O6 ->M[\Delta] 6C + 6H2O}</math>. Additionally, creating a <chem>
parser hook to automatically put the expression into \ce{} would offer nice
convenience.
There may be security issues with this, however. I do not know enough texvc to say.
