Template:Decimal-align

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Aligns numbers on the decimal point across multiple table cells within a row. Can wrap wikitext, including multi-cell outputs of {{convert}}.

Arguments

Argument	Meaning
1 (unnamed)	cells to perform alignment on
leftx (optional, x = 1 to 10)	alignment of the decimal point within column x, as a percentage of cell width
left (optional)	default alignment of the decimal point if no "leftx" argument is given (defaults to 50%)

Example

Default alignment:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Example # !! fl. oz. !! pints !! quarts !! gallons
|-
| 1 || {{decimal-align|{{convert|1|usoz|uspt usqt usgal|disp=tablecen}}}}
|-
| 2 || {{decimal-align|{{convert|10|usoz|uspt usqt usgal|disp=tablecen}}}}
|-
| 3 || {{decimal-align|{{convert|100|usoz|uspt usqt usgal|disp=tablecen}}}}
|}

Example #	fl. oz.	pints	quarts	gallons
1	1	0.063	0.031	0.0078
2	10	0.63	0.31	0.078
3	100	6.3	3.1	0.78

Explicit alignment of certain columns:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Example # !! fl. oz. !! pints !! quarts !! gallons
|-
| 1 || {{decimal-align|{{convert|1|usoz|uspt usqt usgal|disp=tablecen}}|left1=75|left4=25}}
|-
| 2 || {{decimal-align|{{convert|10|usoz|uspt usqt usgal|disp=tablecen}}|left1=75|left4=25}}
|-
| 3 || {{decimal-align|{{convert|100|usoz|uspt usqt usgal|disp=tablecen}}|left1=75|left4=25}}
|}

Example #	fl. oz.	pints	quarts	gallons
1	1	0.063	0.031	0.0078
2	10	0.63	0.31	0.078
3	100	6.3	3.1	0.78
