This template is a simplified version of {{Convert}}. It displays a distance as two lines of text. The template takes the input (in Imperial units) and calculates the metric equivalent.
Inserting the optional second parameter (any character) reverses the units.
Decimal values are supported.
The template automatically adds the units after the values.
The text is right-aligned, but can be changed to left- by applying the parameter "align=left".
The alternate units can be changed to italic by applying the parameter "alt=italic".
A dividing line can be added by applying the parameter “|line=anything ”.
Units
The default units are miles for input and kilometres as output.
Adding the named parameter |in= (for input) will allow alternate input units:
in=
