Common prefixed units are in bold face.

Usage[edit source]

  • Empty arguments such as m=, c=, n= will turn the corresponding prefix in bold face.
  • Arguments prefixed by "x" will replace the default text for that prefix (for example for a link).
  • For µ use either mc= or µ= (note: this is a different character to the Greek letter).
  • right= will make the template float right
  • The anchor parameter can be used to enable linking to e.g. #SI prefixed forms of metre directly to wherever the template is on the page. Note that the anchor text should contain underscores (_) rather than whitespace.
