- Example references
{{Convert}} templates, without and with wikilinked unit names:
|height={{Convert|5|ft|2|in|cm|abbr=off}}
→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm)|height={{Convert|5|ft|2|in|cm|abbr=off|lk=on}}
→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm)- output of convert template: 5 [[Foot (unit)|feet]] 2 [[inch|inches]] (157 [[centimetre]]s)
|height={{Convert|5|ft|2|in|abbr=off}}
→ 5 ft 2 in (1.57 m)|height={{Convert|5|ft|2|in|abbr=off|lk=on}}
→ 5 ft 2 in (1.57 m)- output of convert template: 5 [[Foot (unit)|feet]] 2 [[inch|inches]] (1.57 [[metre]]s)
|height={{Convert|157|cm|ftin|abbr=off}}
→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in)|height={{Convert|157|cm|ftin|abbr=off|lk=on}}
→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in)- output of convert template: 157 [[centimetre]]s (5 [[Foot (unit)|feet]] 2 [[inch|inches]])
|height={{Convert|1.57|m|abbr=off}}
→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in)|height={{Convert|1.57|m|abbr=off|lk=on}}
→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in)- output of convert template: 1.57 [[metre]]s (5 [[Foot (unit)|feet]] 2 [[inch|inches]])
Exceptions
Does not replace numbers in manually entered conversions, but does replace unit names with abbreviations (examples intentionally show incorrect conversions):
|height=5 feet 2 inches (1.00 metres)
→ 5 ft 2 in (1.00 m)|height=5 feet 2 inches (100 centimetres)
→ 5 ft 2 in (100 cm)|height=1.57 metres (5 feet 5 inches)
→ 1.57 m (5 ft 5 in)|height=157 centimetres (5 feet 5 inches)
→ 157 cm (5 ft 5 in)
Does not replace numeric output of conversion templates such as {{convert}} or {{height}}, but does replace unit names with abbreviations (examples intentionally show different precision than usual):
|height={{Convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=off}}
→ 5 ft 2 in (1.575 m)- output of convert template: 5 feet 2 inches (1.575 metres)
|height={{Convert|5|ft|2|in|cm|sigfig=4|abbr=off}}
→ 5 ft 2 in (157.5 cm)- output of convert template: 5 feet 2 inches (157.5 centimetres)
|height={{Convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=off}}
→ 1.57 m (5 ft 1.8 in)- output of convert template: 1.57 metres (5 feet 1.8 inches)
|height={{Convert|157|cm|ftin|1|abbr=off}}
→ 157 cm (5 ft 1.8 in)- output of convert template: 157 centimetres (5 feet 1.8 inches)
|height={{Height|m=1.57|frac=4|abbr=no}}
→ 1.57 m (5 ft 1+3⁄4 in)- output of height template: 1.57 metres (5 feet 1+3⁄4 inches)
|height={{Height|cm=157|frac=4|abbr=no}}
→ 157 cm (5 ft 1+3⁄4 in)- output of height template: 157 centimetres (5 feet 1+3⁄4 inches)
Areas for improvement
Conversion not displayed if unit name contains uppercase characters:
|height=157 Centimetres
→ 157 Centim|height=157 CM
→ 157 CM|height=1.57 Metres
→ 1.57 Metres|height=1.57 M
→ 1.57 M|height=5 Feet 2 Inches
→ 5 Feet 2 Inches|height=5 FT 2 IN
→ 5 FT 2 IN
Conversion not displayed if symbols are used for feet and inches:
|height=5' 2"
→ 5' 2"|height=5′ 2″
→ 5′ 2″
Does not recognize symbols for feet and inches in a manually entered conversion (adds a second conversion):
|height=157cm (5' 2")
→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in) (5' 2")|height=1.57m (5′ 2″)
→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in) (5′ 2″)
