[edit] Instructions for using templates in the isotope table

The isotope table article has caused trouble for several users because it is too big for certain web browsers' editors (more than 90 kB), e.g. typographical errors have been introduced by the software. Partly to reduce file size (less than 45 kB) and partly to make the isotope table easier to edit, a few templates have been introduced for use in this article.

Here are instructions for using the templates, plus an excerpt from the isotope table code and a demonstration of what the isotope table will look like. See for instance the links to Tritium and Carbon-14, and the two-coloured cell of Al-26.

[edit] Using the templates

Template Syntax Effective text
Explanation and comments
{{Iso1}} {{Iso1|Nr|Symbol|X}} title="{{Iso/X/text}}" style="background:{{Iso/X}};" | <small><sup>Nr</sup></small>Symbol
{{Iso1|Nr|Symbol}} title="Unstable" style="background:white;" | <small><sup>Nr</sup></small>Symbol

One-coloured cells

X is member of "ROYGBIV-" and represents a red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet or white background colour of a whole table cell. If X is omitted, the colour defaults to white.

Nr and Symbol represent atomic number and chemical symbol and are rendered as NrSymbol. Symbol may contain links, e.g. [[Helium-4|He]] is rendered as He.
{{Iso2}} {{Iso2|Nr|Symbol|X|Z}} title="Isotope: {{Iso/X/text}}; Nuclear isomer: {{Iso/Z/text}}" style="background:{{Iso/Z}};" | <div style="background:{{Iso/X}};"> <small><sup>Nr</sup></small>Symbol</div>
{{Iso2|Nr|Symbol|X}} title="Isotope: {{Iso/X/text}}; Nuclear isomer: Unstable" style="background:white;" | <div style="background:{{Iso/X}};"> <small><sup>Nr</sup></small>Symbol</div>

Two-coloured cells

X and Z are members of "ROYGBIV-" as mentioned above. X is the background colour of the text, and Z is the border colour of the table cell. If Z is omitted, the border defaults to white.

Nr and Symbol are the same as above.

In principle this template could be used for both one- and two-coloured cells. However, this template yields more text than the first one, calls the double number of sub-templates, and also displays misleading popup titles if used in one-coloured cells. Therefore it should only be used when there is actually a need for two colours.
The following templates are generally not used independently, but are called by Iso1 and Iso2 using the variables X and Z:


[edit] Explanation of background colours

Half-lives (example: Gd)
145Gd Unstable
146Gd 1-10 days
149Gd 10-100 days
153Gd 100 days - 10 years
148Gd 10-10,000 years
150Gd >10,000 years
152Gd Natural radioactive
158Gd Stable
Half-lives (example: Gd)
145Gd Unstable
146Gd 1-10 days
149Gd 10-100 days
153Gd 100 days - 10 years
148Gd 10-10,000 years
150Gd >10,000 years
152Gd Natural radioactive
158Gd Stable

The background colour of each isotope's cell indicates the isotope's physical half-life. See colour chart to the right. Differently coloured borders indicate half-lives of the most stable nuclear isomer states.

To insert this colour chart in an article, add the following tag:

{{isotope colour chart}}

The template takes an optional, nameless parameter that may be used to add styles such as table width or font effects, or override the default styles. The styles are given as a semicolon-separated list using colon as the assignment operator, e.g.:

background:pink; font-style:italic;

The parameter is separated from the template name with a pipe ("|"), and the full template call becomes:

{{isotope colour chart | background:pink; font-style:italic;}}

The result is shown to the lower right.

[edit] Discussion

[edit] Popup titles in the isotope table cells

Popup titles displaying half-lives when hovering over table cells were added in January 2006. For background and discussion see Talk:Isotope table (complete)#Alternatives for displaying colour legend.
