Layout bugs for heteroatoms

Looking at the /doc examples, there is a large amount of whitespace between the top block (saturation and methylene variations)) and the bottom block (heteroatom variations). In the first heteroatom row (oxygen), the –O vs +O are on separate lines. The whitespace situation is when there are any heteroatoms (and even when there are no heteroatoms); the oxygen-row situation only happens when there are both O and N rows.

Bug with explicit =0 heteratom count

{{Related molecular formulas|C=2|H=3|N=1}} gives "C₂H₂" and "C₂H₄N₂"
{{Related molecular formulas|C=2|H=3}} omits the N-variations row
{{Related molecular formulas|C=2|H=3|N=0}} gives "C₂H₂N_-1" and "C₂H₄N₁"

Presumaby that last should be equivalent to omitting the N parameter altogether. DMacks (talk) 11:52, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Refactoring

{{Compose molecular formula}} might be a way to clean up this template-family by factoring out every time you need to format a molecular formula and link to its setindex. DMacks (talk) 05:01, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks for the template! Nucleus hydro elemon (talk) 15:49, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And thank you for catching my typos, and fixing some other corner-cases. DMacks (talk) 15:55, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
