Template:Base16/Documentation

Template:Base16 template makes it easy to convert from decimal to hexadecimal.

Usage

It accepts one mandatory parameter, the decimal number to be converted to a hexadecimal. Decimals and fractions will be rounded down.

A optional parameter controls the display of a subscript:

• The number is, by default, formatted with a final subscript 16 to display the base.
• With |hex, the base will display as hex.
• Using |no or |none hides the subscript and forces the display of at least two hexadecimal digits (instead of just one for values lower than 16).
• Use |digit to show a single digit without the subscript and without the 0 prefix.

{{Base16|0}} → 0₁₆
