The use of Jmol in HTML pages involves downloading a data file containing the atomic types and cartesian coordinates. Most simply, the molecular data can be in the page itself between tags. The molecular data can also be in a wiki page, such as a subpage of the article displaying the molecule, or by uploading the molecular data file to the wiki or perhaps on Wikipedia to Commons like the use of images. Chemists have developed many different formats for files of molecular coordinate data and most of these are readable by Jmol.
 
Use of Jmol in Wiki pages is available for several wikis (see [http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/Jmol_Processor Jmol-Wiki extensions]), and contributions have been made by several people. [[m:User:NicoV|NicoV]] has completed work on the firstsecond version of the Jmol extension adding support for Jmol in MediaWiki. This uses two PHP files rather than the one used in the initial implementation. It is proposed to get this fully working on Wikipedia and [[Wikiversity]] in a way that editors can easily add Jmol molecules to articles on chemistry and biochemistry.
