Hi,

for chemical writings, I need arrows with text above and beyond the arrow.
With $\stackrel{text above}{\longrightarrow}$ I get text above the arrow
or beyond the arrow but not both.
In chemical textbooks (written in LaTeX) I saw that it's possible.

Does anybody know how to do it?

Thanks a lot!
Ulrich Grün

P.S. Please, send answers to my Email address (semila...@xs4all.nl) too.

empheq also supply more extended arrows like \xrightarrow, see the empheq doc.

This produces very short arrows with a too large text. What I am looking
for, is more like \frac, but with an arrow.

I read the doc, but my problem is not mentioned there

What exactly is it \xrightarrow[below]{above} doesn't do for you? The
arrow is as long as the text.

I looked over it. Because \xrightarrow[below]{above} was not well documented
I saw the example only as \xrightarrow[below]) and I thought I needed
another way.

Thanks!

no you didn't \xrightarrow[below] will not compile, where as

\xrightarrow[below]{}

will
