Template:BScvt/doc

Usage

This template displays a distance as two lines of text in a text field of a route diagram created with {{BS-map}}. 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
yd	yards	metres
ft	feet
ch	chains
m	metres	yards
