Template:PropList/doc

Template for property lists in chemistry. Not yet finished.

There are three types of arguments:

• Requested argument: will always be included in the list, even if no value given
• Optional argument: will be only shown if a value is given

These two arguments are given by name and will be shown in a predetermined order (independent of where they are included).

• Free arguments: Pairs "property value" can be added. They will be listed at the end of the table, in the order given. Currently up to 9 such pairs are possible.

There are two variants of the table, one for chemical elements, the other for compounds chosen by setting the argument " " (empty name):

• " | = atom "
• " | = compound "
• default is a table without requested arguments (equivalent to " | = "

Currently N,F,A,M,P,C,E are requested for atoms, and N,I,C,F for compounds. M,B,D,S are optional arguments meant for compounds, but also available for atoms (except M).

In addition to the arguments defining the entries for the table, there are optional arguments for the layout of the table:

• The title of the table can be changed using the optional argument Title.

• The column widths can be set (in px) using the optional arguments wdP (first column: "property") and wdV (second column: "value").
  (This option should be used with care since it might cause wrapping.)

Usage
