{{Convert/scale}} allows a custom scale formula to be used to convert a unit into another unit. The formula used is:

output = round(a × ({{{1}}} + offset) + b, r)

That is, output is calculated by adding parameters {{{1}}} and offset, multiplying the result by parameter a, adding parameter b, then rounding according to parameter r.

Usage

The format is:

• {{convert/scale|10.0|ww|zz|a=6.7|b=0.4|r=3}} → 10.0 ww (67.400 zz)
• {{convert/scale|4|m|ft|scale=3.28|add=0}}         → 4 m (13.1 ft)

Synonyms for parameter a are f or scale. A synonym for parameter b is add.

The output of the template is the following space-separated group of values:

{{{1}}} {{{2}}} (output {{{3}}})

Non-breaking spaces are the default between values and units, but can be reset by using a leading space or " " or "-" prefix before words.

If parameter sep is present, it replaces the opening parenthesis and there is no closing parenthesis.

The parameters are:

Param	Description
1	Amount to convert (can have a fraction, default: 2+3/4)
2	Literal input unit name or symbol (can have prefix "-" or space)
3	Literal output unit name or symbol (or prefix "-" or space)
a or f or scale	Scale factor (default: 2.0), to divide by 4, use a=(1/4)
offset	Initial offset amount (default: 0.0)
b or add	Final shift amount (default: 0.0)
r	Number of decimal places in the result. Negative numbers round to nearest multiple of powers of 10 (i.e. -3 rounds to the nearest thousand). i.e., rounding is to the nearest multiple of 10−r. The default value of r is the precision of parameter 1, plus 1.
sep	Separator text between input unit & output amount (default: "( )" parentheses)
