ទំព័រគំរូ:Periodic table legend/doc

This template is a wrapper for a number of legends, each called a theme, used in periodic tables. Each theme is a subtable that can have individual settings, for example to show "predicted".

Usage

The wrapper itself can have settings:

{{Periodic table legend
|child=yes/no (no: stand alone table; default=yes: inside another table, usually the PT table)
|caption= (text to appear as caption for the legend block)
|style= (set style)
...
|}

All parameters looks like:

{{Periodic table legend
|child=
|caption=
|style=

|theme1=
|predicted1=
|sa1=
|eka-sa1=
|unknown1=
|border1=

|theme2=
|predicted2=
|sa2=
|eka-sa2=
|unknown2=
|border2=

    (same for theme3=, theme4=)
}}

Example

{{Periodic table legend
|child=no
|caption=Example legend with three themes

|theme1=Category|predicted1=no|sa1=yes|eka-sa1=no|unknown1=yes
|theme2=State of matter|predicted2=no|sa2=yes|eka-sa2=no|unknown2=yes
|theme3=Occurrence|predicted3=no|sa3=yes|eka-sa3=no|unknown3=yes|border3=13
}}

Example legend with three themes

Background color shows subcategory in the metal–nonmetal range: លោហៈ Metalloid អលោហៈ Unknown chemical properties អាល់កាឡាំង Alkaline earth metal Super­actinide Lan­thanide Actinide Transition metal Other metal Polyatomic nonmetal Diatomic nonmetal ឧស្ម័នកំរ

black=Solid green=Liquid red=Gas grey=Unknown Color of the atomic number shows state of matter (at 0 °C and 1 atm)

Primordial From decay Synthetic Undiscovered Border shows natural occurrence of the element

Themes

The following themes are recognised (note: the caption links are added here for ease)

Category

|theme1=Category
|unknown1=yes
|predicted1=yes
|sa1=yes
|eka-sa1=yes
|text1=This is the legend theme "Category".

Theme description text options

• It is possible to override or suppress the theme description using |text1=:

|text1=My personal text → description as entered

|text1= (blank) → no description at all

| (omitted) → default description ("category metal–nonmetal ragne")

Technical

improvements to ponder

• Check (remove) repeated %-fonts (may be too small in the end - recently introduced?)
• Subpages are spelled using ..., so we can have /Category and /Category/sandbox.
• Always allow /sandbox systematically (change spellings?)
• /sandbox has link to source template; live one too by option
• Warn for "predicted"= unnumebred too

This is an 18-column periodic table layout, which has come to be referred to as the common or standard form, on account of its popularity. It is also sometimes referred to as the long form, in comparison to the short form or Mendeleev-style, which omits groups 3–12 by placing their elements into the main groups. The wide periodic table incorporates the lanthanides and the actinides, rather than separating them from the main body of the table in order to save space. The extended periodic table adds the 8th and 9th periods, including the superactinides.
