Template:BScvt/doc

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 “|line=anything ”.

Units

The default units are miles for input and kilometres as output.

• Adding the named parameter |in= (for input) will allow alternate input units:

in=	Units	Converts to
mi;ch	miles; chains	kilometres
yd	yards	metres
ft	feet
ch	chains
m	metres	yards

• Whitespace for mi;ch (in both the distance and the units) is allowed but not necessary.
