Nodyn:Hexadecimal/doc

This template makes it easy to convert from decimal to hexadecimal.

Usage

Use: {{Hexadecimal|x}} where x is the decimal number to be converted to a hexadecimal. Numbers greater than 268,435,455 or less than 0 will return an "N/A", decimals and fractions will be rounded down. The number is, by default, formatted with a final subscript 16 to display the base. An optional second parameter of |hex will replace the base with "hex".

To opt out of the subscript, use a second parameter of |no (or equivalently |none), which also forces the display of at least two hexadecimal digits (instead of just one for values lower than 16).

Examples

To convert a number to a base 16:

{{Hexadecimal|0}} → 0₁₆

{{Hexadecimal|15}} → F₁₆

{{Hexadecimal|3256}} → CB8₁₆

To convert a number to a base hex:

{{Hexadecimal|0|hex}} → 0_hex

{{Hexadecimal|15|hex}} → F_hex

{{Hexadecimal|3256|hex}} → CB8_hex

To convert an RGB color from decimal code to hex code:

{{Hexadecimal|255|no}}{{Hexadecimal|165|no}}{{Hexadecimal|0|no}} → FFA500
