Template talk:SMILES

This is a template for the SMILES chemical structure representation strings.

At this very moment, its purpose is to just stay as a placeholder for semantic markup of the values. Later it may be easily converted to a link to various external services for displaying the molecular structures and working with them, much along the lines of what WikiProject Geographical coordinates does for geographical coordinates.

The primary function of this template is to markup the meaning of the value in a machine-readable way, by enclosing it to SPAN tag with CLASS set to a value denoting the variable meaning, therefore allowing its easy retrieval by a postprocessing javascript, implemented eg. by Greasemonkey or by an user modification. I already have a proof-of-concept implementation, to be published. --Shaddack 04:09, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I made the template show its parameter, it does not do anything useful with it now. --Dirk Beetstra T  C 20:50, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Forget about it, changed it back, did not understand it's function, now it makes sense to me. --Dirk Beetstra T  C 20:58, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
