User:Wikid77/Template:Convert/text2/doc

The Template:Convert/text2 allows insertion of free-form text into a conversion of 2 amounts, with the output amounts gathered together at the end of the text. The free-form text among the output amounts can be set by "out=" or "out2=" to specify text after each of the 2 output numbers (the default output text is just "×" between amounts).

Usage

edit
  • {{convert/text2|10|wide and|5|ft|m|high}}                    → 10 feet wide and 5 ft high (3.0* × 1.5 m*)
  • {{convert/text2|10|wide and|5|ft|m|high|out2=tall}}    → 10 feet wide and 5 ft high (3.0* × 1.5 m* tall)
  • {{convert/text2|10.54321|long by|5|ft|m|across|2}}    → 10.54321 feet long by 5 ft across (3.21* × 1.52 m*)

There are special options with Convert/text2, such as 7th parameter "|2" to round the amount to 2 decimals, and "x0=zz" to "x9=zz" to insert text before/after the input or output unit numbers/names.

       2,500 feet long by 999 feet wide (760 × 304 m)
       |    |    |       |   |    |      |  | |     |
       x0   x1   x2      x3  x4   x5    x6 x7 x8   x9

While parameters x0 and x1 insert text before or after the first amount, x2 follows the input unit. Then x3 and x4 insert text before/after the 2nd amount, while x5 follows the 2nd input unit, x6 puts text before the 1st output amount, x7 and x8 surround the "out=" text, and x9 follows the output unit name (before "out2=").

The template allows the same parameters as Template:Convert, and so it allows abbreviation abbr=in or abbr=out or abbr=off, wikilinks lk=in or lk=out, and adjective mode adj=on or adj=mid. The output separator can be reset by: disp=or, disp=comma, disp=x (customized), disp=sqbr (square brackets), disp=b (default as parentheses), or disp=out.

Examples

edit
  • {{convert/text2|10|wide and|5|ft|m|high}}                  → 10 feet wide and 5 ft high (3.0* × 1.5 m*)
  • {{convert/text2|10|wide and|5|ft|m|high |abbr=off}} → 10 feet wide and 5 feet high (3.0* × 1.5 metres*)
  • {{convert/text2|10|wide and|5|ft|m|high|out3=tall}} → 10 feet wide and 5 ft high (3.0* × 1.5 m* tall)
  • {{convert/text2|9 |wide and|5|ft|m|high|frac=10}}    → 9 feet wide and 5 ft high (2+710 × 1+12 m)
  • {{convert/text2|500|long, and|70|ft|m|high}}                  → 500 feet long, and 70 ft high (150* × 21 m*)
  • {{convert/text2|500|long, and|70|ft|m|high|disp=out}} → 150* × 21 m*

The 9 parameters x0-x9:

  • {{convert/text2|2,500|long by|999|ft|m|wide|out2=across|x0=(x0)|x1=(x1)|x2=(x2)|x3=(x3)|x4=(x4)|x5=(x5)|x6=(x6)|x7=(x7)|x8=(x8)|x9=(x9)}}    → (x0) 2,500 (x1) feet (x2) long by (x3) 999 (x4) ft (x5) wide ((x6) 760* (x7) × (x8) 304 m* (x9) across)
