Syntax edit

  • {{long ton | tons | cwt | qr | lb }}
  • {{long ton | 35   | 4   | 2  | 1  }}
35 long tons 4 cwt 2 qr 1 lb (78,905 lb or 35.791 t)
To link the "long" unit to article Long ton use |lk= on:
  • {{long ton | tons | cwt | qr | lb | lk=on }}
  • {{long ton | 35   | 4   | 2  | 1  | lk=on }}
35 long tons 4 cwt 2 qr 1 lb (78,905 lb or 35.791 t)

Only the second parameter, the number of cwt, is required; all the others are optional. Note that the first parameter must be empty then.

  • {{long ton | | cwt }}
  • {{long ton | | 100 }}
100 long cwt (11,200 lb or 5,100 kg)
  • {{long ton | | 100 | lk=on }}
100 long cwt (11,200 lb or 5,100 kg)
Unit names or symbols

There is no option to write full names of the units. The units are written: long ton[s], [long] cwt, qr, lb. (Where {{convert}} has |abbr= off/on).

Rounding edit

Rounding depends on input.

  • If pounds are specified in input, the output value for pounds will be given to the nearest pound and the metric conversion will be to the nearest kilogram.
  • If pounds are not specified in input but quarters are, the output value for pounds will be given to the nearest 10 pounds and the metric conversion will be to the nearest 10 kilograms.
  • If neither pounds nor quarters are specified in input, the output value for pounds will be given to the nearest 100 pounds and the metric conversion will be to the nearest 100 kilograms.

Display edit

Inside grammatical brackets, use disp=or or disp=sqbr:

A replacement ring of ten bells (tenor {{long ton| | 18| 1| 2| disp=or}})

gives: "A replacement ring of ten bells (tenor 18 long cwt 1 qr 2 lb; 2,046 lb or 928 kg)"

A replacement ring of ten bells (tenor {{long ton| | 18| 1| 2| disp=sqbr}})

gives: "A replacement ring of ten bells (tenor 18 long cwt 1 qr 2 lb [2,046 lb or 928 kg])"

In tables edit

Use disp=table in tables.
