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.

Usage

{{Deg2DMS|decimaldegrees|p=precision|sup=ms}}.

Parameter p is optional and defaults to 3.
Parameter sup is optional and defaults to not-used, <blank>, or <null>, which produces the apostrophe-format for minutes and seconds, by default (1° 2′ 3″). It may be activated by "ms", or any text, to produce the m-s-format for minutes and seconds (1° 2m 3s).

For example:
{{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=10}} returns 266° 25m 0.6132s.
