ΧyMTeΧ is a macro package for TeX which renders high-quality chemical structure diagrams. Using the typesetting system, the name is styled as Template:Stylized LaTeX. It was originally written by . Molecules are defined by TeX markup.

Example

The following code produces the image for corticosterone below.

\documentclass{letter}
\usepackage{epic,carom}

\begin{document}
\begin{picture}(1000,500)
   \put(0,0){\steroid[d]{3D==O;{{10}}==\lmoiety{H$_{3}$C};{{13}}==\lmoiety{H$_{3}$C};{{11}}==HO}}
   \put(684,606){\sixunitv{}{2D==O;1==OH}{cdef}}
\end{picture}
