- Description of files in Jmol+JSmol distribution
- File formats read or written by Jmol
- The Jmol scripting interface
- Scripting as a programming language
- Complete reference of scripting commands:
- Loading models directly from databases
- Mouse manual
- Default colors used by Jmol
- Atom sets predefined in Jmol
- Support for bond orders · isotopes · stereochemistry · hydrogen bonds
- Jmol as editor
- Multi-touch support
- Copying and pasting state scripts between applets.
- Backward compatibility (changes of behavior across versions)
- Features added since version 10
- Users mailing list (and a mirror)
A more recent list of changes is compiled in SorceForge project pages, and listed and linked from the Jmol website: www.jmol.org/history/ (see 'History of Changes' section there).
New in version 10.2

- Easier zoom, perspectiveDepth on or off switching
- 'hbonds on' does not calculate hbonds anymore. Instead, use 'hbonds calculate'. This enables the separation of hbonds data present in the pdb file (e.g. calculated by a separate algorithm) and hbond information as calculated by the jmol hbond algorithm.
- extended label formatting options, printing three-letter, one-letter amino acid codes possible, also including all available atom information (e.g. coordinates) in the label.
- the pop-up menu when right-clicking the applet can be disabled with 'set disablePopupMenu TRUE'. The pop-up menu itteself also can be tweaked.
- An advanced selection option based on connectivity is introduced: select connected It can for example select based on the amount of connections an atom has, or to which atom it is connected.
- Default atomype coloring within a running applet can be changed by e.g. 'color hydrogen yellow'. Coloring of specific selections overrides the default coloring, as before.
- Complete control of drawing bonds between (selected) atoms is now possible with the 'connect' command. Drawing of h-bond, double, triple, aromatic bonds is possible.
- orbitals and electron density and other information can now be drawn as isosurface or pmesh.
- advanced polyhedra bonds are introduced.
- The stars command creates better visibility of selected atoms.
New in versions older than 10.2
