Condensed text style

Multiattached atom labels (MAALs), common in condensed text-style diagrams, are atom labels from which bonds emanate at more than one location. Hitherto we have assumed that all an atom s bonds sprouted from one point. There is no mention of MAALs in the SDG literature the following are ideas that may be implemented in ChemDraw. 

In this text, biochemical style abbreviations - the condensed system of symbolism - have been used for the formulae of carbohydrates [1]. Where more convenient M has also been used as a symbol for D-mannopyranose. Unless described otherwise, chiral compounds are D- and glycosidically linked sugars are pyranose. In oligosaccharide formulae a reducing-end sugar is italicised. Italicised reference numbers indicate reviews and these provide early information and lists of references. P represents a phosphate group. 

There exist two fundamentally different styles of presentation for the acyclic content of structures expanded text and condensed (Figure 2). In the expanded style, there is a different plotting coordinate for every atom. (Hydrogens are typically omitted from the diagram for clarity however, they are sometimes necessary, e.g., when they indicate stereochemistry.) In the condensed...
