Template:Infobox npc/height/locate is one of three templates used to automatically add conversions of height measurements displayed by Template:Infobox person and other infoboxes with a |{{#if:height|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
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
Usage[edit]
{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|1.57 m}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|1.57 m}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|157 cm}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|157 cm}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|2 in}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|2 in}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft 2 in}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft 2 in}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft 2 in (2012)}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft 2 in (2012)<ref>citation goes here</ref>}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate
<references />
Exceptions[edit]
Does not replace numbers in hard-coded conversions (examples intentionally show incorrect conversions):
{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|5 ft 2 in (100 cm)}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|157 cm (5 ft 5 in)}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate
Does not replace numeric output of conversion templates such as {{convert}} or {{height}} (examples have precision different than usual):
{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|{{convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=on}}}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|{{convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=on}}}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|{{height|ft=5|in=2|precision=3|abbr=yes}}}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate{{Template:Infobox person/height/locate|{{height|m=1.57|frac=16|abbr=yes}}}}→ Template:Infobox person/height/locate
Technical details[edit]
The following example shows how the template works:
{{Infobox person/height/switch
|{{{1|5 ft 2 in}}}
|{{#invoke:String|replace|{{{1|5 ft 2 in}}}| | }}
|m={{#invoke:String|find|{{#invoke:String|replace|{{{1|5 ft 2 in}}}| | }}|m}}
|c={{#invoke:String|find|{{#invoke:String|replace|{{{1|5 ft 2 in}}}| | }}|cm}}
|f={{#invoke:String|find|{{#invoke:String|replace|{{{1|5 ft 2 in}}}| | }}|ft}}
|i={{#invoke:String|find|{{#invoke:String|replace|{{{1|5 ft 2 in}}}| | }}|in}}
}}
Result:
{{Infobox person/height/switch
|5 ft 2 in
|5 ft 2 in
|m=0
|c=0
|f=3
|i=8
}}
