Usage
The {{e}} template is intended to facilitate and make uniform scientific notation numbers. To render
- 3.14 × 10−12
instead of writing:
- 3.14 × 10<sup>−12</sup>
you can write:
- 3.14{{subst:e|−12}}
which yields that same wikitext, and is therefore rendered the same.
Note that the parameter is text, not a number; it can include variables which can be italicized, etc. This also means that using a hyphen (-) and a minus sign (−) with negative numbers gives different results.
- 3.14{{subst:e|-12}} 3.14 × 10-12
- 3.14{{subst:e|−12}} 3.14 × 10−12
- 3.14{{subst:e|−12}} 3.14 × 10−12
- 3.14{{subst:e|''z'' − ''y''}} 3.14 × 10z − y
