This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox person/length. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
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}}
.
- Template:Infobox person/length changes text for units of length to the abbreviations "in", "cm" or "m", then passes the string to:
- Template:Infobox person/length/locate which replaces any instances of
with a space, and determines the positions of "in", "cm" or "m" within that string, all of which is passed to: - Template:Infobox person/length/switch which does the conversion

Exceptions[edit source]
Manually entered conversions are not changed, but units are replaced with "in", "cm" or "m" (examples intentionally show incorrect conversions):
{{Infobox person/length|78 inches (191 centimeters)}}
→ 78 in (191 cm){{Infobox person/length|78 inches (1.91 meters)}}
→ 78 in (1.91 m){{Infobox person/length|198 centimetres (71 inches)}}
→ 198 cm (71 in){{Infobox person/length|1.98 metres (71 inches)}}
→ 1.98 m (71 in)
Conversions via a template such as {{convert}} are not changed, but units are replaced with "in", "cm" or "m" (examples have precision different than usual):
{{Infobox person/length|{{convert|78|in|cm|1|abbr=off|sp=us}}}}
→ 78 in (198.1 cm)- output of convert template: 78 inches (198.1 centimeters)
{{Infobox person/length|{{convert|78|in|m|3|abbr=off|sp=us|lk=on}}}}
→ 78 in (1.981 m){{Infobox person/length|{{convert|198|cm|in|2|abbr=off|lk=on}}}}
→ 198 cm (77.95 in)- output of convert template: 198 centimetres (77.95 inches)
{{Infobox person/length|{{convert|1.98|m|in|2|abbr=off}}}}
→ 1.98 m (77.95 in)- output of convert template: 1.98 metres (77.95 inches)
Does not recognize symbols for inches:
{{Infobox person/length|78"}}

→ 78″{{Infobox person/length|198cm (78")}}
→ 198 cm (78 in) (78"){{Infobox person/length|198cm (78″)}}
