Exceptions
Does not replace numbers in manually entered conversions, but does replace unit names with abbreviations (examples intentionally show incorrect conversions):
- {{Para|height|5 feet 2 inches (1.00 metres)}} → {{Infobox person/height|5 feet 2 inches (1.00 metres)}}
- {{Para|height|5 feet 2 inches (100 centimetres)}} → {{Infobox person/height|5 feet 2 inches (100 centimetres)}}
- {{Para|height|1.57 metres (5 feet 5 inches)}} → {{Infobox person/height|1.57 metres (5 feet 5 inches)}}
- {{Para|height|157 centimetres (5 feet 5 inches)}} → {{Infobox person/height|157 centimetres (5 feet 5 inches)}}
Does not replace numeric output of conversion templates such as {{tl|convert}} or {{tl|height}}, but does replace unit names with abbreviations (examples intentionally show different precision than usual):
- {{Para|height|
{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=off}} }} → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=off}}}} - output of convert template: {{Convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=off}}
- {{Para|height|
{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|cm|sigfig=4|abbr=off}} }} → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|cm|sigfig=4|abbr=off}}}} - output of convert template: {{Convert|5|ft|2|in|cm|sigfig=4|abbr=off}}
- {{Para|height|
{{Convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=off}} }} → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=off}}}} - output of convert template: {{Convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=off}}
- {{Para|height|
{{Convert|157|cm|ftin|1|abbr=off}} }} → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|157|cm|ftin|1|abbr=off}}}} - output of convert template: {{Convert|157|cm|ftin|1|abbr=off}}
- {{Para|height|
{{Height|m=1.57|frac=4|abbr=no}} }} → {{Infobox person/height|{{Height|m=1.57|frac=4|abbr=no}}}} - output of height template: {{Height|m=1.57|frac=4|abbr=no}}
- {{Para|height|
{{Height|cm=157|frac=4|abbr=no}} }} → {{Infobox person/height|{{Height|cm=157|frac=4|abbr=no}}}} - output of height template: {{Height|cm=157|frac=4|abbr=no}}
Areas for improvement
{{Fixed}} – Conversions not displayed if unit name contains uppercase characters:
- {{Para|height|157 CM}} → {{Infobox person/height|157 CM}}
- {{Para|height|1.57 M}} → {{Infobox person/height|1.57 M}}
- {{Para|height|5 FT 2 IN}} → {{Infobox person/height|5 FT 2 IN}}
{{Fixed}} – Conversion not displayed if symbols are used for feet and inches:
- {{Para|height|5' 2"}} → {{Infobox person/height|5' 2"}}
- {{Para|height|5′ 2″}} → {{Infobox person/height|5′ 2″}}
{{Fixed}} – Does not recognize symbols for feet and inches in a manually entered conversion (adds a second conversion):
- {{Para|height|157cm (5' 2")}} → {{Infobox person/height|157cm (5' 2")}}
- {{Para|height|1.57m (5′ 2″)}} → {{Infobox person/height|1.57m (5′ 2″)}}
