This is one of three templates used to automatically add conversions of length measurements displayed by infoboxes, such as the |reach= parameter in {{Infobox boxer}} or the |spike= and |block= parameters in {{Infobox volleyball biography}}.

  1. Template:Infobox person/length changes text for units of length to the abbreviations "in", "cm" or "m", then passes the string to:
  2. Template:Infobox person/length/locate which replaces any instances of &nbsp; with a space, and determines the positions of "in", "cm" or "m" within that string, all of which is passed to:
  3. Template:Infobox person/length/switch which does the conversion
