Call this template to convert a temperature between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Both will be displayed, with the unit you supplied coming first. See Template:Dist for a length unit conversion template.
Simplest use case
To convert degrees between C and F, just supply a number and the unit it's in:
{{Temp|100|C}}
yields
100° C (212° F)
{{Temp|212|F}}
yields
212° F (100° C)
Decimal precision
Supply a third parameter to ask for a number of places after the decimal:
{{Temp|99|C|5}}
yields
99° C (210.2° F)
Note that the output only has one decimal place despite the template call asking for five; that's because the answer was 210.20000, but the template won't display zero places. For that reason, {{Temp|100|C|5}} will simply return 100° C (212° F).
Relative change
If you are converting a relative change in temperature, not an absolute temperature, supply "r" as the fourth parameter (though the way the logic in the template currently works, you can actually type anything for a fourth parameter and it will do the same):
{{Temp|9|C|0|r}}
yields
9° C (16° F)
