Hey im new! Chemical Engineering mixed up with Physical engineering---->material science from Poland! cheers!

yeah exactly, that s what i thought...the thing is...how do I label all this now as a reaction =) thanks for the feedback. why do you use php commands for latex? where do you edit latex? Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedthe best thing i have now is this: \reaction{Rf-CF2COOH + \cdot\ce{OH} -> Rf-CF2\cdot + CO2 + H2O} with \reaction defined as: \newcommand\reaction[1]{\begin{equation}\ce{#1}\end{equation}} \newcommand\reactionnonumber[1]% {\begin{equation*}\ce{#1}\end{equation*}} so it is labelled and not italic. BUT now the probleme is the + after the \cdot in.......\cdot + CO2 i get a plus like a cation sign but that s the best so far, would you know a command to get the + back on the ground like a normal one? Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedOK if anybody needs that, i found a way, tricky but it works: just make sure the cdot is isolated like that, it looks then OK, it s labelled, etc.. thanks for your help. \reaction{Rf-CF2COOH + \cdot\ce{OH} -> {Rf-CF2\cdot} + CO2 + H2O}

I did this but you see the OH radical is italic...cant seem to have it all...what do you think?

Hey, thanks for the package, sure helps me out. One thing though..how can I write radical-type reactions: for example: \ce{Rf-CF2COOH + \cdot\ce{OH} -> Rf-CF2\cdot}\ce{+ CO2 + H2O} is the only way to write it because with the \reaction command, every dot from the radicals would tranform the OH for instance in italic style like it s not a reaction anymore, so I decided to use the \ce function, it works but... I cant label it as an equation any ideas? thanks
