Template:Biochem reaction subunit/doc

2 × Hydrogen peroxide

2 × 

Catalase

 

2 H₂O

Oxygen

This template creates subunits of a biochemical reaction. For example, three instances of it were used to demonstrate the reaction of catalase.

The template is based on the <div> element, rather than tables, and this allows it to be more flexible in its display. For example, "2 × Hydrogen peroxide" is likely to wrap across multiple lines, but this doesn't force all the other headers to expand to match. Some of the formatting is dependent on the user's browser supporting the flexbox layout system; the vast majority do, but you will see slight differences in spacing on legacy browsers, although efforts have been made to provide a fallback.

The second example shows the same code, but constrained to 200 px wide; the content wraps, which is particularly useful for longer pathways and mobile devices.

Example code

 <div style="display: flex; flex-flow: row wrap; width:300px; max-width: 100%">
 {{Biochem_reaction_subunit|compound=Hydrogen peroxide|image=Hydrogen-peroxide-3D-balls.png|n=2}}
 {{Biochem_reaction_subunit|enzyme=Catalase|for_prod=2 H<sub>2</sub>O}}
 {{Biochem_reaction_subunit|compound=Oxygen|image=Oxygen molecule.png}}
 </div>

TemplateData for Biochem reaction subunit

This creates a subunit of a reaction: either chemical, or a reaction arrow with an enzyme and minor products or reactants. It is also possible to display custom content. It is designed to be placed inside a <div> tag with "display: flex; flex-flow: row wrap;", but it does work without flexbox.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
