This is one of three templates used to automatically add conversions of height measurements displayed by [[Template:Infobox person]] and other [[:Category:Infobox templates|infoboxes]] with a {{para|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 <code>&nbsp;</code> 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
== Usage ==
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|1.57 m}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|1.57 m}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|1.57&nbsp;m}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|1.57 m}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|157 cm}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|157 cm}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|157&nbsp;cm}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|157 cm}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5&nbsp;ft}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|2 in}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|2 in}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|2&nbsp;in}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|2 in}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft 2 in}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft 2 in}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5&nbsp;ft 2&nbsp;in}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft 2 in}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5&nbsp;ft 2&nbsp;in (2012)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft 2 in (2012)}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5&nbsp;ft 2&nbsp;in (2012)<ref>citation goes here</ref>}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft 2 in (2012)<ref>citation goes here</ref>}}
<references />
== Exceptions ==
Does not replace numbers in hard-coded conversions (examples intentionally show incorrect conversions):
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft 2 in (100 cm)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft 2 in (100 cm)}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|157 cm (5 ft 5 in)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|157 cm (5 ft 5 in)}}
Does not replace numeric output of conversion templates such as {{tl|convert}} or {{tl|height}} (examples have precision different than usual):
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|{{convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=on}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|{{convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=on}}}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|{{convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=on}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|{{convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=on}}}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|{{height|ft=5|in=2|precision=3|abbr=yes}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|{{height|ft=5|in=2|precision=3|abbr=yes}}}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|{{height|m=1.57|frac=16|abbr=yes}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|{{height|m=1.57|frac=16|abbr=yes}}}}
