Template:Convert/doc
The available units are listed here. Note that units are case-sensitive!
Usage
This template calculates measurements from one unit (you can enter) to another one, and then presents the results. For example:
{{convert|2|km|mi}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory{{convert|7|mi|km}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory
You can also round the result. Using round=5 for example, rounds the outcome to a multiple of 5.
{{convert|10|m|ft}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory{{convert|10|m|ft|round=5}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory
In a range, one can round each value individually to the default. Use round=each:
{{convert|10 x 200 x 3000|m|ft}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory{{convert|10 x 200 x 3000|m|ft|round=each}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Rounding to fractions is also possible. Specify the desired denominator using frac=<some positive integer>.
{{convert|5.56|cm|in|frac=16}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory{{convert|8|cm|in|frac=4}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory
The fraction is reduced when possible:
{{convert|8|cm|in|frac=100}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory{{convert|8|cm|in}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory (To compare)
While it is possible to enter feet, inch in a simple conversion, this is not possible for ranges:
{{convert|1|ft|3|in|mm}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory (to compare){{convert|1|ft|3|in|x|3|ft|5|in|mm}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory
In input, a comma for thousands separator is accepted but not required; a gap (space) is not accepted. In output, by default, the thousand separator is the comma:
{{convert|1234567|m|ft}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory{{convert|1,234,567|m|ft}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory{{convert|1 234 567|m|ft}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory
It is also possible to change the way the two measurements are distinguished from one another. Options are: b (the default), sqbr, comma, or, br, x|...:
{{convert|10|m|ft}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory—( ) brackets are the default{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=sqbr}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=comma}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=or}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Setting |disp=br will force a new line (<br>)
{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=br}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Also |disp=br() will force a new line, and keep the brackets:
{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=br()}}→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/home4/iltornan/lua/error.log): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Use sortable=on to include a hidden numerical sortkey in the output, suitable for use in a table with sortable columns. Technically, this places a hidden string before the actual displayed values:
{{convert|10|m|ft|sortable=on}}→ {{nowrap|1=<span style="display:none">7001100000000000000</span>10 metres (33 ft)}
