A printable Periodic table of element in multiple languages written in Tex / LaTeX.

PDF files of the periodic tables are availables on GitHub, in the Releases category.

You can also clone the project and build them with make.

The table is based on Ivan Griffin's and Paul Danese's creations and edits of a Latex Periodic table of elements.

This project introduce different versions to the original tables: various level of details and multiple languages.

For now the table is available in:

• English
• French
• Russian

Files suffixed with extra have extra informations: labels of groups and periods, more detailed colored categories of elements.

The Tex files are:

• periodic_table.tex
• languages.tex

After editing one of these files you can build the PDF using Make. For example to build every files with all the different options, you can run make or make all

To build files for a specific language you would have to run make fr

1. Translations are placed in the languages.tex file. To add a new language, add to the file the Tex variables for your new language. You can take as example what was done for the first languages supported (ENGLISH, FRENCH, RUSSIAN).

2. Also some tricks need to be done in Makefile so that you would be able to run make nl (nl being the newly added language) to build your work to PDF. Here too you can take as example what is done in this file for other languages.

3. To finish you can edit the README.md file to show that a new language is supported.

4. The only thing left is to open a Pull Request. :)

• Add a gh-page with download links
• Add support for new languages
