Template:Km to miles
From KayakWiki
This is the Km to miles Template.
For more information on templates - see About Templates
This template uses unnamed parameters
This template converts kilometers (or kilometers per hour) to statute miles (or statute miles per hour). The parameters include a rounding value to specify how many decimal places are to be used - default is rounded to the nearest unit. This means you can input some text with a distance in km and have it display converted to miles without doing the math yourself.
In order to output the values with reference to speed, the second parameter should be the word speed. Any other value, or a blank, will result in the output being displayed as distance.

- For example, entering
- Many kayakers are comfortable paddling at {{km to miles|6|speed|1}}.
- results in
- Many kayakers are comfortable paddling at 6 kph (3.7mph).
- Using the default for decimal places
- The distance to the island is {{km to miles|12}}.
- results in
- The distance to the island is 12 km (7mi).
To output in distance units and specify the number of digits after the decimal point, use either:
- {{km to miles|6|x|1}} - where x is any text or number
- {{km to miles|6||1}} - leave the second parameter empty
Copy the template text between the lines below (no need to edit, just mark and copy) and paste it into the edit page. Then fill in the parameters. If a parameter does not apply, you can delete the parameter and its associated pipe (|).
