  The calculation and use of molecular hydrogen optical depth templates to
quickly identify and model molecular hydrogen absorption features longward of
the Lyman edge at 912 Angstroms are described. Such features are commonly
encountered in spectra obtained by the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer
and also in spectra obtained by the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph,
albeit less commonly. Individual templates are calculated containing all the
Lyman and Werner transitions originating from a single rotational state (J'')
of the 0th vibrational level (v'') of the ground electronic state. Templates
are provided with 0.01 Angstrom sampling for doppler parameters ranging from 2
<= b <= 20 km s^-1 and rotational states 0 <= J'' <= 15. Optical depth
templates for excited vibrational states are also available for select doppler
parameters. Each template is calculated for a fiducial column density of
log[N(cm^-2)] = 21 and may be scaled to any column less than this value without
loss of accuracy. These templates will facilitate the determination of the
distribution of molecular hydrogen column density as a function of rotational
level. The use of these templates will free the user from the computationally
intensive task of calculating profiles for a large number of lines and allow
concentration on line profile or curve-of-growth fitting to determine column
densities and doppler parameters. The templates may be downloaded freely from
