+ bpchem -- Sup­port for type­set­ting chem­i­cal for­mu­lae, IUPAC compound names and more

+
+This package has been written to alleviate the task of writing publications containing
+lots of chemistry. It provides methods for typesetting chemical names,
+sum formulae and isotopes. It provides the possibility to break very long names
+even over several lines.
+
+This package also provides a way to automatically enumerate your chemical
+compounds, allowing for one-level subgrouping.
+
+What this package does not provide: Methods to draw chemical compounds.
+Although there exist some packages,which where designed for this purpose (e.g.
+xymtex, PPChTex) they are quite limited once you get to complex organic, or
+metal organic compounds. I recommend using an external drawing program, possibly
+in conjunction with psfrag, in these cases.
