Template:Infobox person/height/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox person/height. 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 height measurements displayed by Template:Infobox person and other infoboxes with a |height= parameter.
- Template:Infobox person/height changes text for units of height to the abbreviations "m", "cm", "ft", or "in", then passes the string to:
- Template:Infobox person/height/locate which replaces any instances of
with a space, and determines the positions of "m", "cm", "ft", or "in" within that string, all of which is passed to: - Template:Infobox person/height/switch which does the conversion

{{Convert}} templates generating wikilinked unit names:
{{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|lk=on|abbr=on}}}}→ 5 ft 2 in (1.57 m){{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|lk=on|abbr=off}}}}→ 5 ft 2 in (1.57 [m]]s){{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|cm|0|lk=on|abbr=on}}}}→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm){{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|cm|0|lk=on|abbr=off}}}}→ 5 ft 2 in (157 centms){{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|1.57|m|lk=on|abbr=on}}}}→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in){{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|1.57|m|lk=on|abbr=off}}}}→ 1.57 [m]]s (5 ft 2 in){{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|157|cm|ftin|lk=on|abbr=on}}}}→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in){{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|157|cm|ftin|lk=on|abbr=off}}}}→ 157 centms (5 ft 2 in)
Exceptions
Does not replace numbers in manually entered conversions, but does replace unit names with abbreviations (examples intentionally show incorrect conversions):
{{Infobox person/height|5 feet 2 inches (1.00 metres)}}→ 5 ft 2 in (1.00m){{Infobox person/height|5 feet 2 inches (100 centimetres)}}→ 5 ft 2 in (100 centm){{Infobox person/height|1.57 metres (5 feet 5 inches)}}→ 1.57m (5 ft 5 in){{Infobox person/height|157 centimetres (5 feet 5 inches)}}→ 157 centm (5 ft 5 in)
Does not replace numeric output of conversion templates such as {{convert}} or {{height}}, but does replace unit names with abbreviations (examples have different precision than usual):
{{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=off}}}}→ 5 ft 2 in (1.575m)- output of convert template: 5 feet 2 inches (1.575 metres)
{{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|cm|sigfig=4|abbr=off}}}}→ 5 ft 2 in (157.5 centm)- output of convert template: 5 feet 2 inches (157.5 centimetres)
{{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=off}}}}→ 1.57m (5 ft 1.8 in)- output of convert template: 1.57 metres (5 feet 1.8 inches)
{{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|157|cm|ftin|1|abbr=off}}}}→ 157 centm (5 ft 1.8 in)- output of convert template: 157 centimetres (5 feet 1.8 inches)
{{Infobox person/height|{{Height|m=1.57|frac=4|abbr=no}}}}→ 1.57m (5 ft 1 3⁄4 in)- output of convert template: 1.57 metres (5 feet 1 3⁄4 inches)
{{Infobox person/height|{{Height|cm=157|frac=4|abbr=no}}}}→ 157 centm (5 ft 1 3⁄4 in)- output of convert template: 157 centimetres (5 feet 1 3⁄4 inches)
Period at end of abbreviation displays after the conversion:
{{Infobox person/height|1.52 m.}}→ 1.52 m (5 ft 0 in).{{Infobox person/height|152 cm.}}→ 152 cm (5 ft 0 in).{{Infobox person/height|5 ft.}}→ 5 ft (152 cm).{{Infobox person/height|60 in.}}→ 60 in (152 cm).{{Infobox person/height|5 ft 0 in.}}→ 5 ft 0 in (152 cm).

{{Infobox person/height|5 ft. 2 in}}→ 5 ft. 2 in{{Infobox person/height|5 ft, 2 in}}→ 5 ft, 2 in
Does not recognize symbols for feet and inches:
{{Infobox person/height|5' 2"}}→ 5' 2"{{Infobox person/height|5′ 2″}}→ 5′ 2″{{Infobox person/height|157cm (5' 2")}}→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in) (5' 2"){{Infobox person/height|157cm (5′ 2″)}}→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in) (5′ 2″){{Infobox person/height|1.57m (5' 2")}}→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in) (5' 2"){{Infobox person/height|1.57m (5′ 2″)}}→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in) (5′ 2″)
