comment Get biblatex-chicago working
Currently notepad++ reports that my .bib file is ANSI, will changing my default compile chain to biber break my old files? I need to use the ACS citation package most of the time.

That does not compile for me with the same error- and that is with just a run of PDFLaTeX, no BibTeX or biber- I'm wondering if my copy of chicago-notes.cbx has gotten damage somehow?

comment Addition and subtraction of chemical equations
Would it be possible to borrow some code from siunitx to get a similar effect, where you can use /cancel inside of the environment without breaking it? Or are the two environments too dissimilar?

comment Techniques and packages to keep up with good practices
Am I missing something or is it just less obscure error messages and easier parsing? I once saw a comment about AMSmath and it, but I don't see that mentioned their.

Is there a guide to package order? I just know to put hyperref near the end, and try and put microtype near the end as well.

Wait, what is wrong with $ $? I've not seen that listed in any of the best practice documents before and that is my standard way of doing math inline.

comment Best practices references
Wait, \begin{displaymath} is bad? Whoohoo! I've broken a best practices in past! Now I have to map [ to something more legible for when I want something without a number beside it.

I don't THINK so: I just pasted it into word, which has basic Greek support in its default (Calabri & Cambria) fonts.
