 === Features ===
 Some prominent features that make Jmol/JSmol stand out from alternative software are:
-* Possibility of embedding it in web pages, using standard JavaScript only (no plug-ins of complements need to be installed). Different elements in the page can be made to interact with the content in JSmol, providing an interactive multimedia product that offers both guided content and open exploration.

-* Extensive programming capability to customize the molecular view as well as retrieve and manipulate information from the molecule, using the '''[{{StOlaf}}docs Jmol scripting language]'''. This is a full programming language including variables, loops, conditionals, logical and math operations, custom functions.. in addition to understanding the identities and properties of atoms, bonds, polymeric chains... belonging to molecules.
