'''{{NAMESPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}''' is one of three templates used to automatically add conversions of height measurements displayed by [[Template:Infobox person]] and other [[:Category:Infobox templates|infoboxes]] with a {{para|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 <code>&nbsp;</code> 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

[[Human height|Feet and inches]], embedded [[non-breaking space]], and text after height:

<references />

{{tl|Convert}} templates generating [[wikilink]]ed unit names:
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|lk=on|abbr=on}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|lk=on|abbr=on}}}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|lk=on|abbr=off}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|lk=on|abbr=off}}}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|1.57|m|lk=on|abbr=on}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|1.57|m|lk=on|abbr=on}}}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|1.57|m|lk=on|abbr=off}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|1.57|m|lk=on|abbr=off}}}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|157|cm|ftin|lk=on|abbr=on}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|157|cm|ftin|lk=on|abbr=on}}}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|157|cm|ftin|lk=on|abbr=off}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|157|cm|ftin|lk=on|abbr=off}}}}

== Exceptions ==

Does not replace numbers in hard-coded conversions, but does replace unit names with abbreviations (examples intentionally show incorrect conversions):

* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|5 feet 2 inches (1.00 metres)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|5 feet 2 inches (1.00 metres)}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|157 centimetres (5 feet 5 inches)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|157 centimetres (5 feet 5 inches)}}

Does not replace numeric output of conversion templates such as {{tl|convert}} or {{tl|height}}, but does replace unit names with abbreviations (examples have different precision than usual):

* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=off}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=off}}}}
** output of convert template: {{Convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=off}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=off}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=off}}}}
** output of convert template: {{Convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=off}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|{{Height|ft=5|in=2|precision=3|abbr=no}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|{{Height|ft=5|in=2|precision=3|abbr=no}}}}
** output of convert template: {{Height|ft=5|in=2|precision=3|abbr=no}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|{{Height|m=1.57|frac=4|abbr=no}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|{{Height|m=1.57|frac=4|abbr=no}}}}
** output of convert template: {{Height|m=1.57|frac=4|abbr=no}}

Period at end of abbreviation displays after the conversion:

* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|5 m.}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|5 m.}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|5 ft.}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|5 ft.}}

Multiple unit conversions won't work if input contains periods or commas:

* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|5 ft. 2 in}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|5 ft. 2 in}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|5 ft, 2 in}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|5 ft, 2 in}}

Does not recognize symbols for feet and inches:

* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|5' 2"}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|5' 2"}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|5′ 2″}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|5′ 2″}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|157cm (5' 2")}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|157cm (5' 2")}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Infobox person/height|157cm (5′ 2″)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Infobox person/height|157cm (5′ 2″)}}
