Talk:International Chemical Identifier

message: It appears that there is no actual specification of InChi which is actually complete. All appears to be centered around the software that does it. The IUPAC site distributes software, in it there is a technical document, but it is not complete. Journal articles and presentations only talk about InChi and its layers but not precisely how the most important layer works: the connectivity layer. This information should be found somewhere and referenced. BTW, some links here are broken. Gschadow (talk) 15:39, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Many InChIs are too long to fit on a page. Some browsers (e.g. Firefox) will distort the layout if they are inline whereas others will wrap/break in the middle.
InChIs cannot be broken, so I suspect the best strategy in WP is to use a new paragraph to display the InChI and to position it where it isn't immediately after a float (image).

message: Proposed merge (in response to my previous PROD) of InChI Trust to International Chemical Identifier by User:Edgar181. 
* Agree (As suggested in my previous PROD:) No attempt at notability. Serves as advertising for organisation. As non-commercial org, possibly a merge with InChI Trust Widefox (talk) 09:53, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Methinks the word "human-readable" in the lede is a bit overenthousiastic. After the opening line already said "textual", it could be just 'linear text code' or 'alphabetical' or so. -DePiep (talk) 19:57, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Currently, the site does not include how to actually read such an InChI. While the chemical formula is straightforward, already the connection layer is more complicated and could use a little extra explanation. I understand that InChI is not meant to be (overly) human readable, but a little more details would certainly help here. Martinalex000 (talk) 15:54, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
