Alternative to fleqn for mhchem and chemmacros

Post by Sonntag »

Hi!

I would like to indent the reaction equation like in following example. With a lot of mistake it worked with mhchem. How can it be fixed with chemmacros?

Sonntag

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{fleqn}
\setlength{\mathindent}{1cm} 
\usepackage[option1 = <value1>, option2 = <value2>]{chemmacros} 

\begin{document}
\reaction{H2 + O* <=> OH* + H*} 
\end{document}

To be honest, i don't even see the problem.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[fleqn]{article}
\usepackage{chemmacros}
\usepackage{showframe}
\setlength{\mathindent}{.2cm}
\begin{document}
\reaction{H2 + O* <=> OH* + H*}
\end{document}

If I compile the example from above it look like this with 20 mistakes and if I let me show the first one I get directed to fleqn.clo.

Today I've updated all packages. Have checked it right now on MikTex. No new updates couldn't found. And restarted the computer, but nothing has changed. What else could I do?

Hi, please update the formats as seen in MikTeX Maintenance. That should help.

Thank you, for the suggestion.
But it hasn't change something. I still have the same number of mistakes.

What exactly did you do? Can you show us the log-file of the latest run after the update? Please give it a proper file name.
