Template:Periodic Table Legend

This template is a wrapper for a number of legends, each called a theme, used in periodic tables. Examples of themes are: block, state of matter. Each theme can have individual settings for that theme, for example to show "unknown".

|child=yes/no (no: stand alone table; default=yes: inside another table, usually the PT table)
|caption= (text to appear as caption for the legend block)

...
|}
