Description

This template converts a positive decimal degree value to degrees° minutesseconds'' format or to degrees° minutesm secondss format (the degree symbol ° is invariant between the two formats).

Usage

{{Deg2DMS|positive decimal degrees|p=precision|sup=ms}}.

Parameter p is optional and defaults to 3. It is the number of decimal digits that the seconds are rounded to.
Parameter sup is optional and changes the default apostrophe-format for arcminutes and arcseconds (1° 2′ 3″) to the m-s-format for arcminutes and arcseconds (1° 2m 3s). Any non-blank value has this effect, but using |sup=ms is customary.

For example:

{{Deg2DMS|266.416837}} returns 266° 25′ 0.613″.
{{Deg2DMS|266.416837|p=4}} returns 266° 25′ 0.6132″.
{{Deg2DMS|266.416837|p=4|sup= }} returns 266° 25′ 0.6132″.

{{Deg2DMS|266.416837|p=4|sup=ms}} returns 266° 25m 0.6132s.
{{Deg2DMS|266.416837|p=4|sup=no}} returns 266° 25m 0.6132s.
{{Deg2DMS|266.416837|p=4|sup=''}} returns 266° 25m 0.6132s.
