แม่แบบ:Infobox isotopes (meta)/doc

This infobox contains the table of Main isotopes, and the Standard atomic weight.
For example, Infobox uranium isotopes, as used on page Isotopes of uranium.
The main isotopes table is reused in the regular Infobox: Infobox uranium.

**Basic example**

**parameters**

**Main isotopes table**
Isotopes/main/table/doc
The Main isotopes table is build by entering one template for each isotope-row.
The single-row parameters, commented
"!"=could be required;
..1–4 refer to the decay mode dm#=
*For all code and formatted input: when not recognised, the input is shows as-is (unedited).

**abundance, half-life 1=trace, synthetic, stable by keyboard code**
Parameters na, hl can handle simple keyboard code input. This simplifies typing:
:, .
 will link → synth
See also: percentage abundance, below.
When not recognised, the input is shows as-is (unedited).

**decay mode (1=β−β−) by keyboard code**
Decay modes 1=dm1–4 can be entered as keyboard code:
: (instead of ), will show 1=β+β+.
Also, to wikilink:
: → double beta decay|1=β+β+.
When not recognised, the input is shows as-is (unedited).
basic dm1–4 code rules- α ← a, β ← b, γ ← g, ε ← e
Note: plain Latin letter e used in "e+" only. (No confusion with "ee" for &epsi;&epsi;/ee).- x+, x− ← + − (superscript = inline)- - −  – - (keyboard hyphen = minus)- Aa: keep uppercase: SF ← SF (sf)

**percentage abundance, decay mode formatting**
 Half-life time: usually val to format} →u=Ey. Do not link the unit.- Percentage input , 
No need for val, plain "12.34%" will do.
The number willbe rounded to 3 sigfig.
When dm-% 0.003%, then formatted as "

**Standard atomic weight**
The Infobox contains the table of Main Isotopes (more below), and the standard atomic weight (as published by CIAAW, see Infobox element/symbol-to-saw/CIAAW-saw-element-page.

**what's new**

Main usually refers to Main isotopes (not mainspace, not main-article about ..)

**usage**
This is the Infobox for an elements main isotopes. The meta-templatee is Infobox isotopes (meta) (META)
It contains a table of main isotopes and eventually the standard atomic weight. 
This template is reused in Infobox  as a child Infobox (yes).
, a 'Main isotope' is conforming MOS:MAINISOTOPE (under construction, see WP:ELEMENTS  What is a "Main_isotope"?)
Each isotope has its own row, with decay modes:

**Standard atomic weight**
For stable elements, the formal standard atomic weight (s.a.w.) is added, as published by CIAAW. When the s.a.w. is in interval-notation, its conventional value is added too. Data is retrieved from central s.a.w. values lists, formatting is by Infobox element/standard atomic weight format (same as infobox element).
