Template:Infobox person/height is one of three templates used to automatically add conversions of height measurements displayed by Template:Infobox person and other infoboxes with a |height= parameter.
- Template:Infobox person/height changes text for units of height to the abbreviations "m", "cm", "ft", or "in", then passes the string to:
- Template:Infobox person/height/locate which replaces any instances of
with a space, and determines the positions of "m", "cm", "ft", or "in" within that string, all of which is passed to: - Template:Infobox person/height/switch which does the conversion
Usage
{{Template:Infobox person/height|1 metre}}→ 1 m (3 ft 3 in){{Template:Infobox person/height|1 meter}}→ 1 m (3 ft 3 in){{Template:Infobox person/height|1.57 metres}}→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in){{Template:Infobox person/height|1.57 meters}}→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in){{Template:Infobox person/height|1.57 ms}}→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in){{Template:Infobox person/height|157 centimetres}}→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in){{Template:Infobox person/height|157 centimeters}}→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in){{Template:Infobox person/height|1 foot}}→ 1 ft (30 cm){{Template:Infobox person/height|2 feet}}→ 2 ft (61 cm){{Template:Infobox person/height|1 inch}}→ 1 in (3 cm){{Template:Infobox person/height|2 inches}}→ 2 in (5 cm){{Template:Infobox person/height|2 ins}}→ 2 in (5 cm){{Template:Infobox person/height|5 feet 2 inches}}→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm){{Template:Infobox person/height|5feet 2inches}}→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm){{Template:Infobox person/height|5 feet 2 inches}}→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm){{Template:Infobox person/height|5 feet 2 inches (2012)}}→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm) (2012){{Template:Infobox person/height|5 feet 2 inches (2012)<ref>citation goes here</ref>}}→ 5 ft 2 in (157 cm) (2012)[1]

Exceptions
Does not replace numbers in hard-coded conversions (examples intentionally show incorrect conversions), but does replace units with abbreviations "m", "cm", "ft", or "in":
{{Template:Infobox person/height|5 feet 2 inches (1.00 metres)}}→ 5 ft 2 in (1.00 m){{Template:Infobox person/height|157 centimetres (5 feet 5 inches)}}→ 157 cm (5 ft 5 in)
Does not replace numeric output of conversion templates such as {{convert}} or {{height}}, but does replace units with abbreviations "m", "cm", "ft", or "in":
{{Template:Infobox person/height|{{convert|5|ft|2|in|abbr=off}}}}→ 5 ft 2 in (1.57 m)- compare to:
{{convert|5|ft|2|in|abbr=off}}→ 5 feet 2 inches (1.57 metres)
- compare to:
{{Template:Infobox person/height|{{convert|1.57|m|abbr=off}}}}→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in)- compare to:
{{convert|1.57|m|abbr=off}}→ 1.57 metres (5 feet 2 inches)
- compare to:
{{Template:Infobox person/height|{{height|ft=5|in=2|abbr=no}}}}→ 5 ft 2 in (1.57 m)- compare to:
{{height|ft=5|in=2|abbr=no}}→ 5 feet 2 inches (1.57 metres)
- compare to:
{{Template:Infobox person/height|{{height|m=1.57|abbr=no}}}}→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in)- compare to:
{{height|m=1.57|abbr=no}}→ 1.57 meters (5 feet 2 inches)
- compare to:
Conversion templates where units are not replaced (examples have precision different than usual):
{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|{{convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=off}}}}→ 5 feet 2 inches (1.575 metres)- compare to:
{{convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=off}}→ 5 feet 2 inches (1.575 metres)
- compare to:
{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|{{convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=off}}}}→ 1.57 metres (5 feet 1.8 inches)- compare to:
{{convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=off}}→ 1.57 metres (5 feet 1.8 inches)
- compare to:
{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|{{height|ft=5|in=2|precision=3|abbr=no}}}}→ 5 feet 2 inches (1.575 metres)- compare to:
{{height|ft=5|in=2|precision=3|abbr=no}}→ 5 feet 2 inches (1.575 metres)
- compare to:
{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|{{height|m=1.57|frac=4|abbr=no}}}}→ 1.57 meters (5 feet 13⁄4 inches)- compare to:
{{height|m=1.57|frac=4|abbr=no}}→ 1.57 meters (5 feet 13⁄4 inches)
