<reactionresponse>: In addition to giving the students a formatted=20
view (same as <chem> below) so they can check the syntax of their=20
answer before submitting it, it will correctly recognize chemical=20
reactions regardless of the ordering of the reactants / products.

It is actually <chem>, and it allows entering chemical formulas and=20
reactions with automatic subscripting:
<chem>2CuSO4.5H2O</chem> will render as 2CuSO4=B75H2O
Superscripts must be entered explicitly, but end automatically after a=20
space or a +/- sign:
<chem>Cu^2+(aq)</chem> will render as Cu2+(aq)
Have a look at my general chemistry course at=20
/res/huji/guy/General_Chemistry and my physical chemistry course at=20
/res/huji/guy/Physical_Chemistry.
Good luck!
