The chemstyle bundle provides two packages: chemstyle and
chemscheme. Both are intended to help chemists create floating
graphics and match published styles.
The chemscheme package consists of two parts, both related to
chemical schemes. The package adds a scheme float type to the
LaTeX default types figure and table. The scheme float type
acts in the same way as those defined by the LaTeX kernel, but
is intended for chemical schemes. The package also provides a
method for adding automatic chemical numbering to schemes.
The chemstyle package provides a "one-stop shop" for setting up
formatting of LaTeX documents following the editorial policies
of various chemical journals. It provides a number of handy
chemistry-related commands, and loads several support packages
to aid the chemist.
The package is supplied in .dtx format and as a pre-extracted
.zip file, chemstyle.tds.zip. The later is most convenient
for most users: simply unzip this in your local texmf
directory. If you want to unpack the .dtx yourself, running
tex chemstyle.dtx will extract the package whereas latex chemstyle.dtx will extract it and also typeset the
documentation.
Typesetting the documentation requires a number of packages in addition to those needed to use the package. This is mainly because of the number of demonstration items included in the text. To compile the documentation without error, you will need the packages:
