Template:Miles to km

This template uses unnamed parameters

This template converts statute miles (or statute miles per hour) to kilometers (or kilometers per hour)and displays both values in a standard format. 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 miles and have it display converted to kilometers 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 {{miles to km|4|speed|1}}

results in

Many kayakers are comfortable paddling at 4 mph (6.4 kph)

Using the default for decimal places

The distance to the lighthouse is {{miles to km|8}}

results in

The distance to the lighthouse is 8 mi (13 km)

To output in distance units and specify the number of digits after the decimal point, use either:

• {{miles to km|6|x|1}} - where x is any text or number
• {{miles to km|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 (|).

Copy below this line:

{{miles to km|miles|speed or other|number of decimal digits}}

Copy above this line.
