This is one of three templates used to automatically add conversions of weight measurements displayed by [[Template:Infobox person]] and other [[:Category:Infobox templates|infoboxes]] with a {{para|weight}} parameter.
# [[Template:Infobox person/weight]] changes text for units of weight to the abbreviations "kg", "lb", or "st", then passes the string to:
# [[Template:Infobox person/weight/locate]] which replaces any instances of <code>&nbsp;</code> with a space, and determines the positions of "kg", "lb", or "st" within that string, all of which is passed to:
# [[Template:Infobox person/weight/switch]] which does the conversion
== Usage ==
=== kilograms ===
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|100 kg}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|100 kg}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|1 kilogram}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|1 kilogram}}

* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|238&nbsp;pounds}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|238 pounds}}
=== year and reference ===
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|108 kgs (2012)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|108 kgs (2012)}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|238 lbs (2012)<ref>citation goes here</ref>}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|238 lbs (2012)<ref>citation goes here</ref>}}
; Example references
<references />
=== weight ranges ===
with input containing [[en dash]] (–):
* <kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Infobox person/weight|108</kbd>–<kbd>111 kg}}</kbd> → {{Infobox person/weight|108–111 kg}}
* <kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Infobox person/weight|238</kbd>–<kbd>245 lb}}</kbd> → {{Infobox person/weight|238–245 lb}}
* <kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Infobox person/weight|17</kbd>–<kbd>18 st}}</kbd> → {{Infobox person/weight|17–18 st}}
with input containing [[hyphen]] (-); output is changed to [[en dash]] by {{tl|Convert}}:
* <kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Infobox person/weight|108</kbd>-<kbd>111 kg}}</kbd> → {{Infobox person/weight|108-111 kg}}
* <kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Infobox person/weight|238</kbd>-<kbd>245 lb}}</kbd> → {{Infobox person/weight|238-245 lb}}
* <kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Infobox person/weight|17</kbd>-<kbd>18 st}}</kbd> → {{Infobox person/weight|17-18 st}}
=== optional stlb output ===
with {{para|kg-stlb|yes}}:
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|kg-stlb=yes|100 kg}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|kg-stlb=yes|100 kg}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|kg-stlb=yes|108–111 kg}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|kg-stlb=yes|108–111 kg}}
with {{para|lb-stlb|yes}}:
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|lb-stlb=yes|200 lb}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|lb-stlb=yes|200 lb}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|lb-stlb=yes|238-245 lb}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|lb-stlb=yes|238-245 lb}}
== Exceptions ==
Does not replace numbers in hard-coded conversions (examples intentionally show incorrect conversions), but does replace units with abbreviations "kg", "lb", or "st":
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|108 kilograms (229 pounds)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|108 kilograms (229 pounds)}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|238 pounds (119 kilograms)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|238 pounds (119 kilograms)}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|17 stone (229 pounds; 119 kilograms)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|17 stone (229 pounds; 119 kilograms)}}
Does not replace numeric output of conversion templates such as {{tl|convert}} (examples have precision different than usual), but does replace units with abbreviations "kg", "lb", or "st":
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|{{convert|108.1|kg|lb|1|abbr=off}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|{{convert|108.1|kg|lb|1|abbr=off}}}}
** compare to: <code><nowiki>{{convert|108.1|kg|lb|1|abbr=off}}</nowiki></code> → {{convert|108.1|kg|lb|1|abbr=off}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|{{convert|238.2|lb|kg|2|abbr=off}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|{{convert|238.2|lb|kg|2|abbr=off}}}}
** compare to: <code><nowiki>{{convert|238.2|lb|kg|2|abbr=off}}</nowiki></code> → {{convert|238.2|lb|kg|2|abbr=off}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|{{convert|17.3|st|1|abbr=off}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|{{convert|17.3|st|1|abbr=off}}}}
** compare to: <code><nowiki>{{convert|17.3|st|1|abbr=off}}</nowiki></code> → {{convert|17.3|st|1|abbr=off}}
Period at end of abbreviation displays after the conversion:
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|5 kg.}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|5 kg.}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|5 lb.}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|5 lb.}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|5 st.}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|5 st.}}
Multiple unit conversions won't work if input contains periods or commas:
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|17 st. 5 lb}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|17 st. 5 lb}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/weight|17 st, 5 lb}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/weight|17 st, 5 lb}}
