Skabelon:Convert/list of units
The table below lists units supported by template {{convert}}. The list is not complete—more complete lists are linked for each dimension. A complete list is at the full list of units.
- Explanation - unit codes
The {{convert}} template uses 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 given in column 3 of the following tables, and are accepted as input by the {{convert}} template as the second and third unnamed parameters. For example, {{convert|100|kg|lb}}
produces "100 kilogram (220 lb)" and {{convert|100|lb|kg}}
produces "100 pounds (45 kg)"
Some units have alternative unit-codes; these are shown in brackets in column 3, e.g. °F (F): either may be entered for Fahrenheit (but not lower-case f).
The unit-codes should be treated as case-sensitive, especially in cases like {{convert|100|Mm|mm}}
, which produces "100 megameter (1,0×1011 mm)".
The output of {{convert}} can display multiple converted units, if further unit-codes are specified after the second unnamed parameter (without the | separator). Typical combination output units are listed below in column 7. For example, {{convert|55|nmi|km mi}}
produces "55 sømil (102 km; 63 mi)", and {{convert|1|oz|ozt g gr}}
produces "1 ounce (0,91 ozt; 28 g; 440 gr)".
