మూస:Convinfobox/doc

This template is based on {{convert}}. It is intended as a meta-template for use in infoboxes. It 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 {{convert}}. Named parameters are the same as used by {{convert}}.

This template differs from {{convert}} 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}} gives "100 మీ² (1,100 sq ft)"
• {{convinfobox||m2|100|sqft}} gives "100 sq ft (9.3 మీ²)"

Dual conversions

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

• {{convinfobox|375|ml||impoz||USoz}} gives "375 ml (13.2 imp fl oz; 12.7 US fl oz)"
• {{convinfobox||ml|40|impoz||USoz}} gives "40 imp fl oz (1,100 ml; 38 US fl oz)"
• {{convinfobox||ml||impoz|32|USoz}} gives "32 US fl oz (950 ml; 33 imp fl oz)"

Paired units

Length may be expressed in feet and inches.

• {{convinfobox|180|cm||ft||in}} gives "180 cమీ. (5 అ. 11 అం.)"
• {{convinfobox||cm|5|ft||in}} gives "5 అ. 0 అం. (152 cమీ.)"
• {{convinfobox||cm||ft|120|in}} gives "120 అం. (300 cమీ.)"
• {{convinfobox||cm|5|ft|6|in}} gives "5 అ. 6 అం. (168 cమీ.)"
• {{convinfobox||ft||in|180|cm}} gives "180 cమీ. (5 అ. 11 అం.)"
• {{convinfobox|5|ft||in||cm}} gives "5 అ. 0 అం. (152 cమీ.)"
• {{convinfobox||ft|120|in||cm}} gives "120 అం. (300 cమీ.)"
• {{convinfobox|5|ft|6|in||cm}} gives "5 అ. 6 అం. (168 cమీ.)"

Similarly, mass may be expressed in pounds and ounces.

• {{convinfobox|8.5|kg||lb||oz}} gives "8.5 కి.గ్రా. (18 పౌ. 12 oz)"
• {{convinfobox||kg|4|lb|3|oz}} gives "4 పౌ. 3 oz (1.9 కి.గ్రా.)"

Mass may also be expressed in stone and pounds.

• {{convinfobox|65|kg||st||lb}} gives "65 కి.గ్రా. (143 పౌ.; 10 st 3 పౌ.)"
• {{convinfobox||kg|10|st||lb}} gives "10 st 0 పౌ. (64 కి.గ్రా.; 140 పౌ.)"
• {{convinfobox||kg|10|st|7|lb}} gives "10 st 7 పౌ. (67 కి.గ్రా.; 147 పౌ.)"
• {{convinfobox||kg||st|145|lb}} gives "145 పౌ. (66 కి.గ్రా.; 10 st 5 పౌ.)"

Leaving all numerical fields blank

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

• {{convinfobox||m2||sqft}} gives ""
• {{convinfobox||ml||impoz||USoz}} gives ""

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}} gives "100 మీ² (1,100 sq ft)"
• {{convinfobox|375|ml|40|impoz||USoz}} gives "375 ml (13.2 imp fl oz; 12.7 US fl oz)"
• {{convinfobox|375|ml||impoz|32|USoz}} gives "375 ml (13.2 imp fl oz; 12.7 US fl oz)"
• {{convinfobox||ml|40|impoz|32|USoz}} gives "40 imp fl oz (1,100 ml; 38 US fl oz)"

Rounding

As with {{convert}} 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}} gives "100 మీ² (1,076.3910 sq ft)"
• {{convinfobox|100|m2||sqft|sigfig=4}} gives "100 మీ² (1,076 sq ft)"
• {{convinfobox||ml|40|impoz||USoz|2}} gives "40 imp fl oz (1,136.52 ml; 38.43 US fl oz)"
• {{convinfobox||ml|40|impoz||USoz|sigfig=3}} gives "40 imp fl oz (1,140 ml; 38.4 US fl oz)"
• {{convinfobox||kg|10|st|7|lb|3}} gives "10 st 7 పౌ. (66.678 కి.గ్రా.; 147.000 పౌ.)"
• {{convinfobox||kg|10|st|7|lb|sigfig=5}} gives "10 st 7 పౌ. (66.678 కి.గ్రా.; 147.00 పౌ.)"
