Usage

{{Infobox
...
| label# = Height
| data#  = {{#if: {{{height|}}} | {{Infobox person/height|{{{height}}}}} }}
...
}}

Examples

Metres:

  • |height=1 metre → 1 m (3 ft 3 in)
  • |height=1meter → 1 m (3 ft 3 in)
  • |height=1&nbsp;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)

Centimetres:

  • |height=1 centimetre → 1 cm (0 in)
  • |height=1centimeter → 1 cm (0 in)
  • |height=1&nbsp;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)

Inches:

  • |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)

Feet and inches:

  • |height=5 feet 2 inches → 5 ft 2 in (157 cm)
  • |height=5feet 2inches → 5 ft 2 in (157 cm)
  • |height=5&nbsp;feet 2&nbsp;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
  1. citation goes here
  2. "title". work.

{{Convert}} templates, without and with wikilinked unit names:

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 34 in)
    • output of height template: 1.57 metres (5 feet 1 34 inches)
  • |height={{Height|cm=157|frac=4|abbr=no}} → 157 cm (5 ft 1 34 in)
    • output of height template: 157 centimetres (5 feet 1 34 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″)
