Exceptions[edit source]
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[edit source]
Fixed – Conversions not displayed if unit name contains uppercase characters:
|height=157 CM→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in)|height=1.57 M→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in)|height=5 FT 2 IN→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm)
Fixed – Conversion not displayed if symbols are used for feet and inches:
|height=5' 2"→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm)|height=5′ 2″→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm)
Fixed – Does not recognize symbols for feet and inches in a manually entered conversion (adds a second conversion):
|height=157cm (5' 2")→ 157cm (5 ft 2 in)|height=1.57m (5′ 2″)→ 1.57m (5 ft 2 in)
