iupac command and ligatures about chemmacros HOT 4 CLOSED

IMHO when there is a break point there also should not be a ligature – a common problem in German:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

\begin{document}

Vorhofflattern (wrong) vs. \par
Vorhof"|flattern (right)

\end{document}

from chemmacros.

If you want to disable it you could either just leave the | away or define \chemmacros_break_point: to do nothing:

\cs_set:Npn \chemmacros_break_point: {}

from chemmacros.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{chemmacros}

\ExplSyntaxOn
\cs_set:Npn \chemmacros_break_point: {}
\ExplSyntaxOff

\begin{document}
\iupac{1,3|-Di|chlo|ro|f|fbenz|ene}



1,3-Dichloroffbenzene
\end{document}

gives

Thanks a lot for your advice. Actually, the border between IUPAC names and chemistry-related expressions became thin in some cases. Somehow, \iupac{} became one option to easily introduce breakpoints in some cases - at least for me.

Very interesting, wasn't aware of this!
