Dear Norwid,
I am overwhelmed by your response to my Saturday afternoon roff
exercise! Thank you for your copious feedback, also with regard mhchem,
etc. I installed IQmol on my computer to explore the field a bit
further. Besides that, there is quite a zoo of chemical notations! Of
which I was b

Dear Norwid,
thank you very much for your encouragement and the recommendations!
The Wikipedia records come with structural formulae which prompts the
idea to use chem.pic in the groff distribution (which already has a
handful of sctructures) along the calling convention of my little
package yes
Dear Oliver
The idea to write `\*[H2O]` to relay the (all/most/much) of the work to
manually call subscripts in molecular formulae to an algorithm reminds me a
bit to mhchem[1] available both as a package to LaTeX[2] as well as an
extension available for posts on chemistry.stackexchange.com[3] to
