Formatting problem in Table for Isotopes of H

Bonjour Gaetan. Could you please look at the Table in Isotopes of hydrogen? There seems to be a formatting problem (at least with IE8 and also Firefox) which I have traced to your edits of 4 June 2009 and I don't know how to fix. Several of the columns in the table have a ridiculous number of figures and include many decimal points. For example the mass of H-1 in May 2009 read 1.00782503207(10), but now it reads 1.0.078250320710.78250320717.8250320718.250320712.50320710000015.03207100000050.320709999999963.20709999999962.07100000046190.710000008344657.1000000238419(10). I looked at your edit and I don't understand where all these extra digits and decimal points come from. Can you fix this? Merci d'avance. Dirac66 (talk) 01:31, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Fixed. The problem was that the modulo operator in mw:Extension:ParserFunctions recently changed behavior to operate on floating point values rather than forcing to integers, but Template:Val/delimitnum/fraction was relying on that integer-forcing.

OK, thanks. Programming can be complicated, but I see that your fix has worked. Dirac66 (talk) 02:27, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Enquiry re the book tool

See User talk:Andrewa#saved book template... are you able to give a better reply than I have managed?
