Usage rediger

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 rediger

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.
