Preserving meaning in chemical name formatting

Chemical notation can use letter case and punctuation meaningfully. Editing a name for visual consistency should not remove stereochemical, sequence or terminal information.

For research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.

Preserve an exact source field alongside any display-friendly label. If formatting changes would alter the interpretation, keep the scientific notation intact and solve the visual problem in the page layout instead.

Reading checklist

Keep an exact source representation
Check case-sensitive notation
Separate display formatting from identity data
