{{documentation subpage}}<!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE -->__NOTOC__==Purpose= Units of measurement usage on Wikivoyage ===Format and conventions used for units can be found at [[Wikivoyage:Measurements]].
To ensure units are displayed correctlyshow quantities in a primary and secondary display, the simplified individual template should be usedsuch as {{convert|32|m|ft|1}}, or {{convert|18|°C|°F|1}}.
The Convert template can be used in cases where standard format is not optimum.==Usage == Simplified unit of measurement templates ====*{{tl|km}} , {{tl|mi}}*{{tl|m}} , {{tl|ft}}, {{tl|yd}}*{{tl|mm}} , {{tl|in}}*{{tl|ha}} , {{tl|acre}}* {{tl|km2}} , {{tl|mi2}}* {{tl|m2}} , {{tl|ft2}}* {{tl|kmh}} , {{tl|mph}}* {{tl|kg}} , {{tl|lb}}* {{tl|g}} , {{tl|oz}}* {{tl|C}} , {{tl|F}} === Convert template usage ==='''Template {{tl|convert}}''' ''calculates'' measurements from one unit (you can enter) to another one, and then ''presents the results''. For example:: <codett><nowiki>{{convert|2|km|mi}}</nowiki></code> → {{convert|2|km|mi}}:<code><nowiki>{{convert|7|mi|km}}</nowiki></code> → {{convert|7|mi|km}}<br /> Multiple ''original_value'formatting'|'' and calculation options are listed below. ==Unit name or symbol (abbreviation): original_unit''1 pound'' or ''1 lb''?==By default, the first value shows unit name, the second the symbols (= abbreviation).Use {{para|abbr|on/off}} to change this behaviour::<code><nowiki>{{convert|1|lb|kg}}</nowiki></code> → {{convert|1|lb|kg}} (To compare; default: first value shows unit name):<code><nowiki>{{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=on}}</nowiki></code> → {{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=on}}:<code><nowiki>{{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=off}}</nowiki></code> → {{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=off}}* {{para|abbr|in}} toggles the default behaviour ({{para|abbr|out}})::<code><nowiki>{{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=in}}</nowiki></code> → {{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=in}} ==Adjective: ''a 10-mile distanceconversion_unit''==Use {{para|adj|on}} to produce the adjective form. The difference::<code><nowiki>{{convert|10|mi|km}} to go</nowiki></code> → {{convert|10|mi|km}} to go. ''(To compare, default)round_to'':<code><nowiki>A {{convert|10|mi|km|adj=on}} distance</nowiki></codett> → A {{convert|10|mi|km|adj=on}} distance. ''(Adjective form)'' ==Rounding: ''100 ft'' is ''30&nbsp;m'' or ''30.5&nbsp;m'' or ''30.48&nbsp;m''?==In detail, it is {{convert|100|ft|mm|sigfig=5|disp==}}. In practical use, it is common to round the calculated metric number. With that, there are several possibilities. ===Default rounding===:By default, the conversion result will be rounded either to precision comparable to that of the input value (the number of digits after the decimal point—or the negative of the number of non-significant zeroes before the point—is increased by one if the conversion is a multiplication by a number between 0.02 and 0.2, remains the same if the factor is between 0.2 and 2, is decreased by 1 if it is between 2 and 20, and so on) or to two significant figures, whichever is more precise. An exception to this is ''rounding temperatures'' (see [[#Rounding temperatures|below]]).
