I don't mean to be pedantic, but why do you write "H20" instead of "H2O?"
I've searched all those comments because I couldn't believe I'm the only one bothered by that. The difference is actually hardly trivial; "H20" suggests there is a molecule made from 20 connected hydrogen atoms! The missing subscript doesn't help (isn't there a way to make subscript the number?). Of course I know it wasn't deliberate, and I guess no reader would interpret is as anything else but "water". For the sake of completion I would appreciate an edit, though.
Fwiw, all html or formatting aside, there's a fairly well-supported unicode subscript 2.
Water has the chemical formula H₂O. Sugar is C₆H₁₂O₆. See them all here
Ahhh now I've seen it I can't unsee it.
