{{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
