ထာမ်ပလိက်:Periodic table legend/doc

This template is a wrapper for a number of legends, each called a theme, used in periodic tables. Examples of themes are: category, block, state of matter. Each theme can have individual settings for that theme, for example to show "unknown".

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=
|text1=
|unknown1=
|border1=

|themeN=
|textN=
|unknownN=
|borderN=
<!-- (N = 1, 2, 3, 4) -->
}}

Example

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

|theme1=Category|unknown1=yes
|theme2=State of matter|unknown2=yes
|theme3=Occurrence|unknown3=yes|border3=13
}}

Example legend with three themes

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