This is a documentation subpage for User:Wikid77/Template:Convert set.

The converter Template:Convert set will convert a set of 2 amounts at once, allowing any range words/text between the 2 numbers. However, both amounts are treated as the same unit type. The output unit must be specified, or put blank "| |" for the default output unit.

Usage: {{convert set |5|by|6|m|ft}}

The template supports most of the options which Template:Convert allows, including abbreviation abbr=in or abbr=out or abbr=off, wikilinks lk=on, lk=in or lk=out, and adjective mode adj=on. The separator can also be a semicolon: disp=semi, disp=or, disp=comma, disp=x & disp=b (default parentheses). Using optional parameter "warn=yes" will warn when the separator is an unusual word (other than: to, by, and, or, -, +/-, x, xx or comma).

Examples

The following examples show various separator text, with p=2 to round the precision to 2 decimal places:

{{convert set |5|by|6|m|ft}} → 5 by 6 metres (16 by 20 ft)
{{convert set |5|x|6|m|ft|r=2}} → 5 × 6 metres (16.40 × 19.69 ft)
{{convert set |7,550|rarely|7,600|km|mi}} → 7,550 rarely 7,600 kilometres (4,690^* rarely 4,700 mi^*)
{{convert set |7|to|8|km|mi|abbr=on}} → 7 to 8 km (4.3 to 5.0 mi)
{{convert set |7|to|8|km|mi|adj=on}} → 7-to-8-kilometre (4.3-to-5.0 mi)
{{convert set |7|or|8|km|mi|adj=split}} → 7- or 8-kilometre^* (4.3 or 5.0 mi)
{{convert set |10|-|20|°C|F|disp=or}} → 10–20 °C or 50–70 °F
{{convert set |11|-|22|°C|F|disp=semi}} → 11–22 °C; 52–72 °F
{{convert set |10|–|15|°F|C}} → 10 – 15 °F (−12.2 – −9.4 °C)
{{convert set |105|-|106|°F|C|lk=on }} → 105–106 °F (40.6–41.1 °C)
{{convert set |45|-|55|°F|C|disp=x| in winter (|)}} – 45–55 °F in winter (7–13 °C)
{{convert set |700.4|-|700.5|lb|kg}}

– 700.4–700.5 pounds (317.70–317.74 kg)

{{convert set |5+1/2|wide by|6+1/3|m|ft}} – 5¹⁄₂ wide by 6¹⁄₃ metres (18^* wide by 21 ft^*)

The standard range-words are: to, by, and, or, -, +/-, x, xx & comma. Display types: disp=comma, disp=semi, disp=or, disp=s, disp=2 (or disp=out), disp=# (or disp=number), disp=x and disp=b.
