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.
There is a shorter aliases for this template: {{val}}, you are encouraged to use this shorter version. ({{ScientificValue}} may be deprecated in the near future in favor of this new, shorter name).
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.
Units are replaced by a more esthetically pleasing HTML representation and get a link, if they are in the list found in {{ScientificValue/units}} or if they are supported by {{convert}}. A good example is "m/s", which gets translated to "m·s-1".
Examples
{{ScientificValue|1.234}}→ Template:ScientificValue Uncertainty/significance {{ScientificValue|1.234|0.005}}→ Template:ScientificValue {{ScientificValue|1.234|+0.005|-0.001}}→ Template:ScientificValue {{ScientificValue|1.234|s=5}}→ Template:ScientificValue Exponents/units {{ScientificValue|1.234|e=10|u=m}}→ Template:ScientificValue {{ScientificValue|1.234|0.05|e=5}}→ Template:ScientificValue {{ScientificValue|1.234|+0.05|-0.04|e=-23|u=m/s}}→ Template:ScientificValue {{ScientificValue|1.234|0.04|e=3|u=psi}}→ Template:ScientificValue {{ScientificValue|123.4|u=USgal}}→ Template:ScientificValue {{ScientificValue|12.34|u=mpgimp}}→ Template:ScientificValue
