{{Documentation subpage}}


This is one of three templates used to automatically add conversions of length measurements displayed by [[:Category:Infobox templates|infoboxes]], such as the {{para|reach}} parameter in {{tlx|Infobox boxer}} or the {{para|spike}} and {{para|block}} parameters in {{tlx|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 <code>&nbsp;</code> 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

== Usage ==

* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|198 cm}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|198 cm}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|198&nbsp;cm}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|198 cm}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|78 in}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|78 in}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|78&nbsp;in}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|78 in}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|198 cm (2012)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|198 cm (2012)}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|78&nbsp;in (2012)<ref>citation goes here</ref>}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|78 in (2012)<ref>citation goes here</ref>}}

<references />

== Exceptions ==

Does not replace numbers in manually entered conversions (examples intentionally show incorrect conversions):

* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|198 cm (71 in)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|198 cm (71 in)}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|1.98 m (71 in)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|1.98 m (71 in)}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|78 in (191 cm)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|78 in (191 cm)}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|78 in (1.91 m)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|78 in (1.91 m)}}

Does not replace numeric output of conversion templates such as {{tl|convert}} (examples have precision different than usual):

* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|{{convert|198|cm|in|2|abbr=on}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|{{convert|198|cm|in|2|abbr=on}}}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|{{convert|1.98|m|in|2|abbr=on}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|{{convert|1.98|m|in|2|abbr=on}}}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|{{convert|78|in|cm|1|abbr=on}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|{{convert|78|in|cm|1|abbr=on}}}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|{{convert|78|in|m|3|abbr=on}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/length/locate|{{convert|78|in|m|3|abbr=on}}}}

== Technical details ==

The following examples show how the template works:
