    Summary description: Use consistent typsetting for quantum chemistry related software

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    We are pleased to announce **quantum-chemistry-bonn v0.1** — a
    lightweight LaTeX package designed to streamline the formatting
    of quantum-chemistry documents.
    Instead of manually typing program names, method labels, or colored
    highlights every time, **quantum-chemistry-bonn** provides a single,
    centrally maintained style file that automatically formats:

    * **QC program names** (e.g., ORCA, CENSO, Draco, CREST, xTB,
    tblite) in consistent fonts
    * **Custom color palette** matching University of Bonn branding
    (bonnblue, bonnred, bonnyellow, bonngrey/bonngray, bonngreen, etc.)
    * **Shorthand macros** for common scientific abbreviations (\etal,
    \ie, \eg, \pka, \dgsolv, \kcalmol)
    * **A unified `\method{…}` lookup** for quantum mechanical methods
    (e.g., r²SCAN-3c) with case-insensitive keys and optional aliases
    (e.g., both `\method{r2scan3c}` and `\method{rsc}` produce the
    same output)

    By loading `quantum-chemistry-bonn.sty`, authors can guarantee
    uniform typography throughout manuscripts, posters, or presentations
    — no more scattered ad-hoc macros.
    Version 0.1 requires only the **xcolor, expl3, xparse **, and
    **siunitx** packages; future updates will expand the dictionary
    of supported methods and QC Programs.

    **Download quantum-chemistry-bonn v0.1** from CTAN and simplify
    your QC writings today!
