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.
