Parity and Stereo with Open Babel
Cam Open Babel support stereoinformation represented by the Parity Code and Stereo Code in SDF/Mol files?

Yes. Open Babel can support stereoinformation represented by the Parity Code and Stereo Code
in SDF/Mol files.
But you should use Open Babel 2.4.1 and newer versions. Open Babel 2.3.1 seems to have a bug that reads the Stereo Code incorrectly. See the difference of two SVG diagrams generated by Open Babel 2.4.1 (left) and Open Babel 2.3.1 (right).

As you can see, Open Babel 2.3.1 shows the wedge on bond #1, but the stereo code is given on bond #2 in the SDF/Mol file, L-Alanine.sdf:

We can see the same bug in Open Babel 2.3.1, when writing the stereoinformation to SDF/MOl files. The Stereo code is written incorrectly on bond #1 instead of #2.

With Open Babel 2.4.1, the bug is fixed.
