Template:Convert

How to use

The template needs three objects within it.

Height/Length

Conversion list:

• cm=centimeter
• m=meter
• ft=feet
• km=kilometers

Example

{{Convert|1|m|cm}} converts one unit (a meter) into centimeters. This produces: 1 metre (100 cm).

Mass

Conversion list:

• lb=pound
• kg=kilogram
• MT=Metric ton

Example

{{Convert|1|kg|lb}} converts one unit (a Kilogram) into pounds. This produces: 1 kilogram (2.2 lb).

Speed

Conversion list:

• km/h= Kilometers per hour
• mph=Miles per hour

Example

{{Convert|1|mph|km/h}} converts one MPH (miles per hour) into Kilometers per hour. This produces: 1 mile per hour (1.6 km/h).

Miscellaneous

• The template is set to British English by default. For American English spelling, use |sp=us. For example: {{Convert|6.2|ft|cm|sp=us}} will change the spelling of "centimetres" to "centimeters".
• To flip the display of conversions, use |disp=flip. For example, {{Convert|6.2|ft|cm|disp=flip}} will flip the starting Imperial measurement as the converted measurement.
• To specify the decimal point for a more accurate conversion, use |sigfig=. For example, {{Convert|300|m|ft|sigfig=6}} will give a more accurate conversion of 300 metres (984.252 ft) over 300 metres (980 ft) (which uses {{Convert|300|m|ft}}).
