Nuclear Notation Formating
When I use the notation i.e   or  12Carbon  to designate the mass of an isotope the text drops to the next line after the mass number and before the chemical symbol - this makes the string very hard to read. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_notation  as an example of this text format. Many other Wikipedia pages also have this text-to-next-line-drop with nuclear and chemical notation so it is a consistent problem for many editors.

How do I get the notations to remain on one line and if there is a solution to this editing problem where is the solution given in the Wikipedia resources - or - where would be a good place to add it?

 * I'm not seeing any problem here. I'm seeing a superscript 12, underneath that a subscript 6, and just to the right of both of these a "C".There's a discussion at Template talk:Nuclide2 which suggests that the results are different in some browsers - which browser and version are you using? Also, the and  templates have been replaced by  and, so you may get better results with those. Here are your examples using the old templates:  and 12Carbon and the new templates:  and . Any difference? -- John of Reading (talk) 09:57, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
