'''ΧyMTeΧ''' is a [[Macro (computer science)|macro]] package for [[TeX]] which renders high-quality [[chemical structure]] diagrams. Using the typesetting system, the name is styled as {{Stylized LaTeX|6}}. It was originally written by {{nihongo|Shinsaku Fujita|藤田眞作|Fujita Shinsaku}}.  [[Molecule]]s are defined by [[TeX markup]].

==Example==
The following code produces the image for [[corticosterone]] below.
<syntaxhighlight lang="latex">
\documentclass{letter}
\usepackage{epic,carom}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\begin{picture}(1000,500)
   \put(0,0){\steroid[d]{3D==O;{{10}}==\lmoiety{H$_{3}$C};{{13}}==\lmoiety{H$_{3}$C};{{11}}==HO}}
   \put(684,606){\sixunitv{}{2D==O;1==OH}{cdef}}
\end{picture}
