Template:Convert/list of units (view source)
Revision as of 15:52, 9 August 2020
, 15:52, 9 August 2020→top: replacing Template:Tld with Template:Tlc, plus general and typo fixes as found
The table below lists units supported by {{tlf|convert}}. More complete lists are linked for each dimension. For a complete list of all dimensions, see [[Module:Convert/documentation/conversion data/doc|'''full list of units''']].
<!-- NB! This {{divbox}} is a substitute for a normal Table of Contents (TOC), because the list is made up of wikitables with no standard ==Section== headings. This means that the index is not self-updating, and any changes to the wikitables also need updating by hand. Please attempt to maintain this contents box if you make any changes to the tables. Thank you. -->

{{tlf|Convert}} uses {{strong|unit-codes}}, which are similar to, but not necessarily exactly the same as, the usual written abbreviation for a given unit. These unit-codes are displayed in column 3 of the following tables. These are accepted as input by {{tlf|convert}} as the second and third unnamed parameters:
* {{tlc|convert|100|kg|lb}} → {{convert|100|kg|lb}}
* {{tlc|convert|100|lb|kg}} → {{convert|100|lb|kg}}
The unit-codes should be treated as {{strong|case-sensitive}}:
* {{tlc|convert|100|Mm|mm}} → {{convert|100|Mm|mm}}
The output of {{tlf|convert}} can display multiple converted units, if further unit-codes are specified after the second unnamed parameter (without the pipe separator). Typical combination output units are listed below in column 7.
* {{tlc|convert|55|nmi|km mi}} → {{convert|55|nmi|km mi}}
* {{tlc|convert|1|oz|ozt g gr}} → {{convert|1|oz|ozt g gr}}
Some units have alternative unit-codes. These are shown in brackets in column 3, e.g. <code>°F</code> (<code>F</code>). Either may be entered for Fahrenheit (but not a lower-case f).
