ABSTRACT
"Neotera" were to the Athenians no good news;
here, however, are our more visible mutations:
violent, we hope, and benign.

We decided, again, to support XyMTeX as the
default chemical interpreter.
I considered looking into a SMILES/InChi-to-graph-
ics pathway; but BKChem, the only interpreter that
seems to do batch processing, requires a frame-
buffer.
Also, an interesting discussion at WikiProject-
Chemistry:[1]
[SMILES is] okay for simple stuff, but for
anything more complicated, it becomes irri-
tating to not be able to define the orienta-
tion that you actually want in the diagram.
For some things, it's impossible: try getting
any app to draw a metallocene legibly from
SMILES :-)

The question is, therefore, XyMTeX vs. PPCHTeX:[2]
The [downside] of [PPCHTeX] is that it han-
dles anything other than plane structures of
five- and sixrings very badly.
--Sverdrup 10:28, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
A compromise? XyMTeX by default, possibly, and
some flag or non-standard tag to expose PPCHTeX.

Added support for FeynMF today (<feyn></feyn);
recently gnuplot and LilyPond made the cut.
During this phase we also spun-off mod_tex as a
separate entity, and WikiTeX as an ad-hoc Media-
Wiki client that connects thither.

Near term: finish off remaining classes (cir-
cuits?); may verzichten upon Greek and Tipa, or
give them unicode backends.
