The template will convert a length in metres to various other units. It uses the {{#expr:}} parser to convert.
[change] Usage

}}
name=unit name (optional, defaulting to the article's page name)
m=distance of unit in metres
accuracy=number of significant figures (optional, default = 5)
nocat=to not add the page to Category:Units of length type " nocat= "
The resulting conversion will occur from the metre representation only. Any number larger than 10000 or smaller than 0.1 will be represented in Engineering notation, i.e. ×10 raised to a multiple of 3.
