Template:Delimitnum

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template outputs a minus sign if the number is negative, then formats the absolute value, using {{delimitnum/real}}.

The first (mandatory) parameter contains the signed mantissa. Its absolute value will be formatted using groups of 3 digits before the decimal separator, and its fractional part will be formatted by groups of 3 digits, but avoiding a single isolated digit in the last group.

Other parameters are optional :

• the second parameter contains a few extra digits of precision, that are shown only to represent an estimated/average value (these digits are formatted between parentheses);
• the third parameter is a base-10 exponent, used to multiply the mantissa;
• the fourth parameter is any text containing a unit name or abbreviation, following the number after a non-breaking space.
