Template:Val/units

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Purpose

Subtemplate for turning an easily typeable name for a unit into a proper scientific notation for the unit without a link to a page about the unit. See {{val/unitswithlink}} for a version that provides a link to the unit as well. If the template does not have an entry for the unit, it is returned "as is".

This template is used by {{val}} to translate the u and up arguments. When adding a unit of the type X/Y (eg. m/s), please consider adding a X·Y^-1 version as well (and name it X*Y-1).

Arguments

1 = The easily typable name of the unit.

Examples

{{val/units|m/s}}	→	m/s
{{val/units|m*s-1}}	→	m·s-1
{{val/units|MeV}}	→	MeV
{{val/units|kg}}	→	kg
{{val/units|whatever}}	→	whatever (unimplemented)

Feel free to add new units if they are not implemented.
