Will it be possible to use LiteMol for small crystal structures? #36

I'm interested in using LiteMol in a web visualization app I'm developing to replace what I currently have, namely, the JSMol app. It provides a lot of powerful functionality that I'd be interested into, but it seems very geared towards macromolecules - so for example it does not even load .cif files that are accepted by JMol, due to some difference in format. Are there any plans to expand LiteMol in this direction as well?

Currently, the only option would probably be to convert the CIF file into mmCIF. Then LiteMol would load it.

Other than that, perhaps sometimes during next year there might be some work done in this direction.
