Module:Temperature

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This module will convert a temperature from one unit to many others in a call to {{H:title}}.

Usage

In prose:

{{#invoke:Temperature|f|350}}

350°F

{{#invoke:Temperature|c|220}}

220°C

{{#invoke:Temperature|gm|4}}

Gas mark 4

{{#invoke:Temperature|k|490}}

490K
