| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox person/height. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| This is for use in templates. For articles, please use {{Convert}} or {{Height}}. |
| This template uses Lua: |
This template is used to automatically add conversions of height measurements displayed by Template:Infobox person and other infoboxes with a |height= parameter.
Usage
{{Infobox
...
| label# = Height
| data# = {{#if: {{{height|}}} | {{Infobox person/height|{{{height}}}}} }}
...
}}
Examples
|height=1 metre→ 1 m (3 ft 3 in)|height=1meter→ 1 m (3 ft 3 in)|height=1 meter→ 1 m (3 ft 3 in)|height=1.57 metres→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in)|height=1.57 meters→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in)|height=1.57 m→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in)|height=1.57 ms→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in)
|height=1 centimetre→ 1 cm (0 in)|height=1centimeter→ 1 cm (0 in)|height=1 centimeter→ 1 cm (0 in)|height=157 centimetres→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in)|height=157 centimeters→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in)|height=157 cm→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in)|height=157 cms→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in)
Feet:
|height=1 foot→ 1 ft (30 cm)|height=2 feet→ 2 ft (61 cm)|height=2 ft→ 2 ft (61 cm)
|height=1 inch→ 1 in (3 cm)|height=2 inches→ 2 in (5 cm)|height=2 in→ 2 in (5 cm)|height=2 ins→ 2 in (5 cm)
|height=5 feet 2 inches→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm)|height=5feet 2inches→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm)|height=5 feet 2 inches→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm)
Text and/or footnotes (references) after height:
|height=5 feet 2 inches (2012)→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm) (2012)|height=5 feet 2 inches<ref>citation goes here</ref>→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm)[1]|height=5 feet 2 inches (2012)<ref>{{cite news|title=title|work=work}}</ref>→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm) (2012)[2]
- 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)|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)|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)|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)
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
Period at end of abbreviation displays after the conversion:
|height=1.52 m.→ 1.52 m (5 ft 0 in)|height=152 cm.→ 152 cm (5 ft 0 in)|height=5 ft.→ 5 ft (152 cm)|height=60 in.→ 60 in (152 cm)|height=5 ft 0 in.→ 5 ft 0 in (152 cm)
Conversion not displayed if input contains multiple units separated by periods or commas:
|height=5 ft. 2 in→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm)|height=5 ft, 2 in→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm)
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″)
