The {{tl|10^}} and {{tl|x10^}}templates are intended to facilitate and make uniform [[scientific notation]] numbers. The {{tl|10^}} template works exactly as described below except that it does not generate a multiplication (“{{xt|×}}”) symbol.

==Usage==
To render {{xt|3.14{{x10^|-12}}}}, instead of writing {{xt|<nowiki>3.14&nbsp;&times;&nbsp;10<sup>&minus;12</sup></nowiki>}} you can write {{xt|<nowiki>3.14{{x10^|-12}}</nowiki>}}:

{{xt|<nowiki>{{x10^|b}}</nowiki>}} → {{xt|{{x10^|b}}}}

{{xt|<nowiki>{{10^|b}}</nowiki>}} → {{xt|{{10^|b}}}}

{{xt|<nowiki>{{x10^|-12}}</nowiki>}} → {{xt|{{x10^|-12}}}}

{{xt|<nowiki>{{10^|-12}}</nowiki>}} → {{xt|{{10^|-12}}}}

The first output character for {{tlf|x10^}} is a non-breaking thin-space (“{{xt|]}}” and “{{xt|[}}” are used to illustrate the effects):

{{xt|<nowiki>]{{x10^|b}}[</nowiki>}} → {{xt|]{{x10^|b}}[}}

{{xt|<nowiki>]{{10^|b}}[</nowiki>}} → {{xt|]{{10^|b}}[}}

{{xt|<nowiki>]{{x10^|-12}}[</nowiki>}} → {{xt|]{{x10^|-12}}[}}

{{xt|<nowiki>]{{10^|-12}}[</nowiki>}} → {{xt|]{{10^|-12}}[}}

===Delimiters===

The template uses gaps or commas, per {{tl|val/delimitnum}}.<br />
{{xt|<nowiki>1.2{{x10^|12341}}</nowiki>}} → {{xt|1.2{{x10^|12341}}}}

See ''[[#Forcing text display]]'' to turn this off.

===Text and number recognition===
By default, the template recognizes both text and numbers. That is, typing {{xt|<nowiki>3.14{{x10^|-12}}</nowiki>}} will produce {{xt|3.14{{x10^|-12}}}}, with the proper [[minus sign]] (“{{xt|−}}”), rather than with a [[hyphen]] (“{{xt|-}}”). However, typing {{xt|<nowiki>A{{x10^|-BC}}</nowiki>}} will produce {{xt|A{{x10^|-BC}}}} since {{xt|BC}} is not a number. In those cases, you need to write {{xt|<nowiki>A{{x10^|&minus;BC}}</nowiki>}} to produce the correct {{xt|A{{x10^|−BC}}}}.

A minus sign also has to be provided for cases like {{xt|1.2{{x10^|1 − 2}}}} ({{xt|<nowiki>1.2{{x10^|1 &minus; 2}}</nowiki>}}).

===Explicit plus sign===
To explicitly display the {{xt|+}} character, write {{xt|<nowiki>1.2{{x10^|4|plus}}</nowiki>}} which will produce {{xt|1.2{{x10^|4|plus}}}}.

===Forcing text display===
To force the template to display the input as text, and forgo the automatic delimitation and the recognition of the hyphen as a minus sign, write {{xt|<nowiki>1.2{{x10^|&minus;42342|text}}</nowiki>}}, which will display {{xt|1.2{{x10^|−42342|text}}}} instead of {{xt|1.2{{x10^|-42342}}}}. This can also be used as an alternative to explicitly display the plus sign ({{xt|<nowiki>1.2{{x10^|+4|text}}</nowiki>}} gives {{xt|1.2{{x10^|+4|text}}}}), but remember that you also lose delimitation if you do it this way.
