Template:Physics particle/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Physics particle.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Purpose

Template for creating symbols for physics particles.

Arguments

1 The main symbol character(s) for the particle

Named arguments:

anti = yes – this puts a bar over the symbol

TL = What goes into the top left corner (optional)

BL = What goes into the bottom left corner (optional)

TR = What goes into the top right corner (optional)

BR = What goes into the bottom right corner (optional)

link = Page to which the symbol should link

Deprecated:

BLc = Originally used to supply the count of characters in BL argument.

BRc = Originally used to supply the count of characters in BR argument.

Here's a diagram:

^TL
_BLX^TR
_BR

Examples

Template:SubatomicParticle uses this template to display particles, eg.:

{{SubatomicParticle|link=yes|Electron}} → e⁻
is the same as

{{PhysicsParticle|e|TR=−|link=Electron}} → e⁻
(an electron)

{{SubatomicParticle|Strange antib0}} → B⁰
_s is the same as

{{PhysicsParticle|anti=yes|B|TR=0|BR=s|BRc=1}} → B⁰
_s (a meson)

The templates in Category:Nuclide templates use this template to display nuclides, eg.:

{{ComplexNuclide|link|deuterium}} → The element link does not exist. is the same as

{{PhysicsParticle|D|TL=2|BL=1|BR=1|link=deuterium}} → ²
₁D
₁

{{Element|link|hydrogen|charge=+}} → Template:Element is the same as

{{PhysicsParticle|H|TR=+|link=hydrogen}} → H⁺
