-Eric Martz, August, 2018. November 2007; JTAT Demo first added December 10, 2007; JTAT Demo updated January 20, 2008 with Template. Proteopedia, JmolShell, and Jmol's Export to Web Page added May 2008. JTAT Version History.

This is the primary home and download site for the Jmol Tutorial-Authoring Template (JTAT), which was released on in 2008, and updated in 2010 and 2018. Be sure to have a look at the JTAT Demonstration !

• SChiSM2 Use a web browser form to create a web page containing a series of molecular views with buttons and descriptions. Requires knowledge of Jmol script language, but neither HTML nor javascript. As of May, 2008, uses an old Jmol (version 10.2). You can save your project to a file and upload it later to continue development. Considerably more challenging to use than Proteopedia, but you have more control and the product tutorial is more user friendly. The tutorial must be uploaded to a server to provide online access, or the tutorial can be shown offline.

• Jmol Application's Export to Web Page On the File menu of the Jmol application (as distinct from the applet) is Export to Web Page. Jonathan Gutow says: "No knowledge of html or java script is necessary. Some knowledge of Jmol scripting language is helpful, but anything you can do from menus requires no scripting. At present there are two page formats: a Jmol window with scrolling text and buttons on the left side; and a page with snapshots of Jmol images that can be converted to live Jmol by clicking on the images. After Jmol creates the page it can be edited in a standard WYSIWG web page editor to add text and other features."

• Proteopedia.Org This is a wiki (as in Wikipedia), meaning that anyone can add text and molecular scenes in Jmol to this website. It already has a machine-generated page for every published macromolecule (>100,000). Here you can create customized molecular scenes, which will be online immediately. Proteopedia's Scene Authoring Tools make this by far the easiest place to create rotatable, zoomable molecular scenes which are instantly viewable and searchable by anyone. No knowledge of Jmol scripting language (nor of javascript) is required. Editing wiki text is easier than HTML. The ease of creating molecular structure tutorials here, and their immediate accessibility online, are the great strengths of Proteopedia. Your tutorials can be protected from editing by others if you wish. Limitations (compared to JTAT) are: Jmol is smaller by default (but can easily be enlarged); detail text cannot be hidden; no sliders for zoom/slab; no centering button; synchronization of side-by-side comparisons is iffy. To understand this comparision better, take a look at the JTAT Demonstration vs. Proteopedia.Org.

The Jmol Tutorial-Authoring Template (JTAT) is under development. When it has been documented and released, it will be available here. This will be its primary home and download site. Now Available: JTAT Demonstration

Until then, if you are anxious to get started using JTAT for developing tutorials in Jmol, you may use the under-development version by contacting me at emartz AT microbio DOT umass DOT edu.
