{{Documentation subpage}}
== Usage ==

This template converts a decimal expression into scientific notation.
: e.g. {{tlx|scinote|12345}} produces: {{scinote|12345}}

To round to a given number of significant figures, specify this number as the second unnamed parameter:
: e.g. {{tlx|scinote|12345|3}} produces: {{scinote|12345|3}}

For engineering notation, set {{para|fn|eng}}:
: e.g. {{tlx|scinote|fn{{=}}eng|12345}} produces: {{scinote|12345|fn=eng}}

Trailing zeros are preserved:
: e.g. {{tlx|scinote|0.001234500}} produces: {{scinote|0.001234500}}
