Usage
This template is a simplified version of {{Convert}}. It displays a distance as two lines of text. The template takes the input (in Imperial units) and calculates the metric equivalent.
- Inserting the optional second parameter (any character) reverses the units.
- Decimal values are supported.
- The template automatically adds the units after the values.
The text is right-aligned, but can be changed to left- by applying the parameter "align=left
".
The alternate units can be changed to italic by applying the parameter "alt=italic
".
A dividing line can be added by applying the parameter ā|line=
anything ā.
Units
The default units are miles for input and kilometres as output.
- Adding the named parameter
|in=
(for input) will allow alternate input units:
