Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127. Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127. This template is a frontend for {{convert}}. It is intended as a meta-template for use within the code for a template, where the input is not known a priori. For unit conversions within articles, one should use {{convert}} directly.

This template accepts from four to seven unnamed parameters. Odd parameters must be numerical (or empty) and specify the numerical value of a measurement and the intended precision of the conversion. Even parameters must be unit codes as used in Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.. Named parameters are the same as used by Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127..

This template differs from Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127. in the following respects.

  • The units to convert to and the units to convert from must be specified (therefore there are no default convert-to units).
  • Fields for the numerical value of a measurement may be left blank.
  • The default is to abbreviate units (where abbreviations exist).
  • Range conversions are not available.

This template may be used when it is unknown in which direction the conversion is to be made. The direction is determined as shown in the following examples.

  • {{convinfobox|100|m2||sqft}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||m2|100|sqft}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

Dual conversions

Dual conversions may be performed by adding a fifth (possibly blank) and sixth unnamed parameter.

  • {{convinfobox|375|ml||impoz||USoz}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||ml|40|impoz||USoz}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||ml||impoz|32|USoz}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

Paired units

Length may be expressed in feet and inches.

  • {{convinfobox|180|cm||ft||in}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||cm|5|ft||in}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||cm||ft|120|in}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||cm|5|ft|6|in}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||ft||in|180|cm}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox|5|ft||in||cm}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||ft|120|in||cm}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox|5|ft|6|in||cm}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

Similarly, mass may be expressed in pounds and ounces.

  • {{convinfobox|8.5|kg||lb||oz}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||kg|4|lb|3|oz}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

Mass may also be expressed in stone and pounds.

  • {{convinfobox|65|kg||st||lb}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||kg|10|st||lb}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||kg|10|st|7|lb}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||kg||st|145|lb}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

Specifying more than one value

The template currently bases conversions on the first non-blank numerical value ignoring any secondary or tertiary values.

  • {{convinfobox|100|m2|100|sqft}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox|375|ml|40|impoz||USoz}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox|375|ml||impoz|32|USoz}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||ml|40|impoz|32|USoz}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

Rounding

As with Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127. rounding can be done automatically or manually by specifying the precision and/or number of significant figures in the converted value. The number of significant figures can be determined by the parameter |sigfig=. The precision can be determined by the fifth (if there is no sixth) or seventh (if there is a sixth) unnamed parameter as shown in the examples below.

  • {{convinfobox|100|m2||sqft|4}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox|100|m2||sqft|sigfig=4}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||ml|40|impoz||USoz|2}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||ml|40|impoz||USoz|sigfig=3}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||kg|10|st|7|lb|3}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • {{convinfobox||kg|10|st|7|lb|sigfig=5}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

Specify precision "0" to prevent rounding of values ending in zero:

  • kilograms (kg)
    • with "0": {{convinfobox|110|kg||lb|0}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
    • without: {{convinfobox|110|kg||lb}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • pounds (lb)
    • with "0": {{convinfobox||kg|240|lb|0}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
    • without: {{convinfobox||kg|240|lb}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • metres (m)
    • with "0": {{convinfobox|100|m||ft|0}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
    • without: {{convinfobox|100|m||ft}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
  • inches (in)
    • with "0": {{convinfobox||cm|100|in|0}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.
    • without: {{convinfobox||cm|100|in}} → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

Leaving all numerical fields blank

If all numerical value fields are left blank the template returns nothing.

  • {{convinfobox||m2||sqft}} →
  • {{convinfobox||ml||impoz||USoz}} →
