| 40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:X10^. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
The {{10^}} and {{x10^}}templates are intended to facilitate and make uniform scientific notation numbers. The {{10^}} template works exactly as described below except that it does not generate a multiplication (“×”) symbol.
Contents
Usage
To render 3.14×10−12, instead of writing 3.14 × 10<sup>−12</sup> you can write 3.14{{x10^|-12}}:
{{x10^|b}} → ×10b
{{10^|b}} → 10b
{{x10^|-12}} → ×10−12
{{10^|-12}} → 10−12
The first output character for {{x10^}} is a non-breaking thin-space (“]” and “[” are used to illustrate the effects):
]{{x10^|b}}[ → ]×10b[
]{{10^|b}}[ → ]10b[
]{{x10^|-12}}[ → ]×10−12[
]{{10^|-12}}[ → ]10−12[
Delimiters
The template uses gaps or commas, per {{val/delimitnum}}.
1.2{{x10^|12341}} → 1.2×1012341
See #Forcing text display to turn this off.
Text and number recognition
By default, the template recognizes both text and numbers. That is, typing 3.14{{x10^|-12}} will produce 3.14×10−12, with the proper minus sign (“−”), rather than with a hyphen (“-”). However, typing A{{x10^|-BC}} will produce A×10-BC since BC is not a number. In those cases, you need to write A{{x10^|−BC}} to produce the correct A×10−BC.
A minus sign also has to be provided for cases like 1.2×101 − 2 (1.2{{x10^|1 − 2}}).
Explicit plus sign
To explicitly display the + character, write 1.2{{x10^|4|plus}} which will produce 1.2×10+4.
Forcing text display
To force the template to display the input as text, and forgo the automatic delimitation and the recognition of the hyphen as a minus sign, write 1.2{{x10^|−42342|text}}, which will display 1.2×10−42342 instead of 1.2×10−42342. This can also be used as an alternative to explicitly display the plus sign (1.2{{x10^|+4|text}} gives 1.2×10+4), but remember that you also lose delimitation if you do it this way.
