Template:Val/units/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Val/units
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

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.
