Template:Val/units/doc
< Template:Val | units
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Val/units It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Purpose
[edit source]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
[edit source]- 1 = The easily typable name of the unit.
