This template is used to automatically add conversions of height measurements displayed by [[Template:Infobox person]] and other [[:Category:Infobox templates|infoboxes]] with a {{para|height}} parameter.

{{tl|Convert}} templates, without and with [[wikilink]]ed unit names:

* {{Para|height|<nowiki>{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|cm|abbr=off|lk=on}}</nowiki>}} → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|cm|abbr=off|lk=on}}}}
** {{nowiki template demo|format=inline|prefix=output of convert template: |showcode=no|output=nowiki|code=<nowiki>{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|cm|abbr=off|lk=on}}</nowiki>}}

== Exceptions ==

Does not replace numbers in manually entered conversions, but does replace unit names with abbreviations (examples intentionally show incorrect conversions):

* {{Para|height|5 feet 2 inches (1.00 metres)}} → {{Infobox person/height|5 feet 2 inches (1.00 metres)}}
* {{Para|height|5 feet 2 inches (100 centimetres)}} → {{Infobox person/height|5 feet 2 inches (100 centimetres)}}
* {{Para|height|1.57 metres (5 feet 5 inches)}} → {{Infobox person/height|1.57 metres (5 feet 5 inches)}}
* {{Para|height|157 centimetres (5 feet 5 inches)}} → {{Infobox person/height|157 centimetres (5 feet 5 inches)}}

Does not replace numeric output of conversion templates such as {{tl|convert}} or {{tl|height}}, but does replace unit names with abbreviations (examples intentionally show different precision than usual):

* {{Para|height|<nowiki>{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=off}}</nowiki>}} → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=off}}}}
** output of convert template: {{Convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=off}}
* {{Para|height|<nowiki>{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|cm|sigfig=4|abbr=off}}</nowiki>}} → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|cm|sigfig=4|abbr=off}}}}
** output of convert template: {{Convert|5|ft|2|in|cm|sigfig=4|abbr=off}}
* {{Para|height|<nowiki>{{Convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=off}}</nowiki>}} → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=off}}}}
** output of convert template: {{Convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=off}}
* {{Para|height|<nowiki>{{Convert|157|cm|ftin|1|abbr=off}}</nowiki>}} → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|157|cm|ftin|1|abbr=off}}}}
** output of convert template: {{Convert|157|cm|ftin|1|abbr=off}}
* {{Para|height|<nowiki>{{Height|m=1.57|frac=4|abbr=no}}</nowiki>}} → {{Infobox person/height|{{Height|m=1.57|frac=4|abbr=no}}}}
** output of height template: {{Height|m=1.57|frac=4|abbr=no}}
* {{Para|height|<nowiki>{{Height|cm=157|frac=4|abbr=no}}</nowiki>}} → {{Infobox person/height|{{Height|cm=157|frac=4|abbr=no}}}}
** output of height template: {{Height|cm=157|frac=4|abbr=no}}

== Areas for improvement ==

Conversion not displayed if unit name contains uppercase characters:

* {{Para|height|157 Centimetres}} → {{Infobox person/height|157 Centimetres}}
* {{Para|height|157 CM}} → {{Infobox person/height|157 CM}}
* {{Para|height|1.57 Metres}} → {{Infobox person/height|1.57 Metres}}
* {{Para|height|1.57 M}} → {{Infobox person/height|1.57 M}}
* {{Para|height|5 Feet 2 Inches}} → {{Infobox person/height|5 Feet 2 Inches}}
* {{Para|height|5 FT 2 IN}} → {{Infobox person/height|5 FT 2 IN}}

Conversion not displayed if symbols are used for feet and inches:

* {{Para|height|5' 2"}} → {{Infobox person/height|5' 2"}}
* {{Para|height|5′ 2″}} → {{Infobox person/height|5′ 2″}}

Does not recognize symbols for feet and inches in a manually entered conversion (adds a second conversion):

* {{Para|height|157cm (5' 2")}} → {{Infobox person/height|157cm (5' 2")}}
* {{Para|height|1.57m (5′ 2″)}} → {{Infobox person/height|1.57m (5′ 2″)}}
