Template:Abbr/list

From OeisWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

The {{abbr/list}} helper function template contains a "database table" (of abbreviations and their full expressions) that is meant to be used by the {{abbr}} template.

This "database table" currently contains a list of abbreviations used in science (mostly mathematics, computer science, physics...).

NOTES:

This list is limited to abbreviations of two or more letters. The capitalization of some of these abbreviations is not standardized—different authors use different capitalizations.
If the entry is not in the "database table," the template returns a link to http://www.abbreviations.com/ followed by the abbreviation.

Format of "database table"

The "database table" format is the following:

  • each line of the "database table" must have the format (including two spaces before the vertical pipe)
 | abbrev = unabbreviated term (text only, or HTML character entities; NO HTML tags)
  • the following characters cannot be used
    • | (vertical pipe) (use {{!}} instead)
    • " (double quote) (use " HTML character entity instead)
  • HTML tags cannot be used
    • log<sub>10</sub> (show as log_10 instead)
    • <math>log_{10}</math> (show as log_10 instead)
    • e<sup>x</sup> (show as e^x instead)
    • <math>e^x</math> (show as e^x instead)
  • wikitext cannot be used
    • [[...]] (messes up the tooltip created with {{Abbr}})

Usage

{{abbr/list|abbr=abbreviation}}

or

{{abbr/list|abbreviation}}
