Excellent work! Thanks a lot!
Really great! Looks so easy :-).
Wonderful! Extremely useful! Great job!
Beautiful!
Amazing work! I have your rss page in my favorities. This periodic talbe is very useful for to learn tikz code.
thanks
Update: The example now works with both pdf(la)tex and latex.
strange. i can 'compile' it with pdflatex but the created pdf is empty...
The Spanish version of this work may be downloaded from:
http://www.aprendematematicas.org/latex.html#Muestras
I had three versions of the Periodic Table in the website, but this one is much better than those I had. That's why I decided to translate it into Spanish and share it.
Thanks for sharing your excellent work.
Me parece muy completa la informacion que se incluye, me sera de mucha utilidad, Gracias Maestro Efrain
I think this is a great periodic table, however Fluorine and Cesium are misspelled. Thanks for doing all the hard work for me!
Hi. I have a problem: I can compile the singele tex-file useing pdflatex and the resault is beutiful. But when trying to put the code in my (quite large) document, I only got errors.
I have a rather large preamble and I suspect package conflickt. Does anyone know if there is any conflicts/issues between the (ifpdf, tikz, preview, shapes and calc) packages and other packages?
Don't mind the above.
I have a working norwegian translation redy. If anyone need it, make contact.

I like this one. This will be extremely as a basis to work on. Thanks!
Element number 72 is actually called 'Hafnium', not 'Halfnium'. Nice work by the way.
