ChemWindow

ChemWindow is a chemical structure drawing molecule editor and publishing program now published by John Wiley & Sons in 2020[1], originally developed by Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.[2][3] It was first developed by SoftShell International in the 1990s.[4] Bio-Rad acquired this technology in 1996 and eventually made it part of their KnowItAll software product line, offering a specific ChemWindow edition of their software for structure drawing and publishing.[5] They have also incorporated ChemWindow structure drawing components into their KnowItAll spectroscopy software packages with their DrawIt and ReportIt tools.[6]

gollark: To be honest Perl regexes probably can parse HTML, but they are also probably TC.
gollark: It encourages people to keep doing their silly standard-violating things because they technically *work*, and makes your parsing logic more complex and flaky.
gollark: And they *do* handle it, because at some point down the line someone thought making it compatible was better than encouraging people to NOT DO REALLY STUPID UNPARSEABLE THINGS.
gollark: A few websites will just go "Standards? What are they?" and ignore the standards and then just expect parsers to handle it anyway.
gollark: Technically HTML isn't even parseable with XML parsers because it is for some TRIANGULAR reason a weird SGML subset.
