Template:E-sp
Usage
{{e-sp}}, a more padded version of {{e}}, is intended to facilitate and make uniform scientific notation numbers.
To render, for example,
- 3.14 × 10−12
use
3.14{{e-sp|−12}}
instead of
3.14 × 10<sup>−12</sup>
Note that the parameter is text, not a number; it can include variables that can be italicized, etc. This also means that using a hyphen (-) and a minus sign (−) with negative numbers gives different results:
3.14{{e-sp|-12}} | yields: | 3.14 × 10-12 |
3.14{{e-sp|−12}} | yields: | 3.14 × 10−12 |
3.14{{e-sp|−12}} | yields: | 3.14 × 10−12 |
3.14{{e-sp|''z'' − ''y''}} | yields: | 3.14 × 10z − y |
