Module:Coordinates/doc

Careful, this function is live, and called by {{Location}} template. The documentation might not be complete

This module provides most of the logic behind {{location}} and related geolocation templates. It provides several methods visible to the templates:

• {{#Invoke:Coordinates | parseAttribute| attribute string | attribute name }} : parse {{location}} attribute parameter attribute string and return value of the attribute name parameter

• {{#Invoke:Coordinates | getHeader| attribute string }} : parse {{location}} attribute parameter attribute string and return the numeric value of the header attribute.

• {{#Invoke:Coordinates | GeoHack_link| lat=... | lon=... |lang=xx | site=... | globe=... }}: creates link to GeoHack tool and display location coordinates. The URLs are based on website and latitude/longitude coordinates. Language is used so it can be passes to the website. Globe parameter is used to allow specifying coordinates on planets other than earth.

• {{#Invoke:Coordinates | lat_lon| lat=... | lon=... |lang=xx }}: create coordinate location string based on decimal degrees latitude and longitude number. Language is used to localize the presentation of the numbers.

• {{#Invoke:Coordinates | deg2dms| degrees|lang=xx }}: create dms (degree/minute/second) string based on decimal degrees number. Language is used to localize the presentation of the numbers.

• {{#Invoke:Coordinates | externalLink| site=... | globe=... | lat=... | lon=... |lang=xx }}: create URLs for different sites which are used by coordinate location templates. The URLs are based on website and latitude/longitude coordinates. Language is used so it can be passes to the website. Globe parameter is used to allow specifying coordinates on planets other than earth.
