Definition name: hm_extended_old
Property name: Extended Hermann-Mauguin symbol in old notation
Description: The older extended Hermann-Mauguin symbol retained as an alias for symbols superseded by newer e-glide notation.
Type: string
Hermann-Mauguin symbols describe crystallographic space groups using lattice-centering symbols and symmetry-element symbols. The setting-specific fields describe the concrete Hall/International Tables setting of the current record. The *_std fields describe the IT-standard setting for the space-group type and can therefore be identical across multiple settings with the same IT number.
Requirements/Conventions:

The `*_std` fields describe the IT-standard setting for the space-group type and can therefore be identical across multiple settings with the same IT number.\n\n**Requirements/Conventions**:\n\n- The plain string form uses spaces between symbol parts where this is needed for unambiguous parsing.\n- The extended symbol MAY contain multiple lines; line breaks and spacing encode the alignment used in International Tables extended symbols.\n- Older-symbol fields are present only where an older International Tables form is retained for comparison or aliasing.",
