"'''Using Jmol to display molecular models'''" is work in progress to use the '''[[Jmol]] applet''' to display [[molecule|molecular]] models of [[chemistry|chemical]] and [[biochemistry|biochemical]] molecules in Wikipedia articles. Jmol is now frequently used in standard HTML pages to display molecules which can then be manipulated using the mouse. [[m:User:NicoV|NicoV]] has put up a [[m:User:NicoV/Jmol Extension|MediaWiki article]] on meta. There is a [http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/MediaWiki reference page] for the now fully functional Jmol Mediawiki extension on the Jmol wiki. Please, post suggestions for further development on the Jmol extension in the [http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/Talk:MediaWiki discussion page] of the Jmol extension on the new [http://wiki.jmol.org/ Jmol Wiki] which, like Wikipedia uses MediaWiki.
 
To display molecules with Jmol, your browser needs to be [[Java (programming language)|Java]] enabled. Two examples of Jmol images in a wiki are [http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/Jmol_MediaWiki_Extension here] and [http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/User:Bduke here]. These use Jmol to show medium sized molecules with buttons to control the rotation of the molecules. The right mouse button opens a Jmol menu while the left mouse button can be used to move the image.
