Purpose

To easily present values in scientific notation, including uncertainty. Wraps entire result in "nowrap" block, so it never gets broken in seperate pieces at the end of a line.

Arguments

1 The value

or

1 The value
2 The uncertainty

or

1 The value
2 The upper limit of uncertainty
3 The lower limit of uncertainty (must be a negative value)

and you can use the following named arguments:

e The exponent for power of 10.
u The units for the number.

Examples

{{ScientificValue|1.234}} -> Template:ScientificValue
{{ScientificValue|1.234|e=10|u=m}} -> Template:ScientificValue
{{ScientificValue|1.234|0.005}} -> Template:ScientificValue
{{ScientificValue|1.234|+0.005|-0.001}} -> Template:ScientificValue
{{ScientificValue|1.234|0.05|e=5}} -> Template:ScientificValue
{{ScientificValue|1.234|+0.05|-0.04|e=-23|u=ms<sup>-1</sup>}} -> Template:ScientificValue
