Module:Convert/makeunits
The purpose of this module is to prepare the data used by Module:Convert to allow conversion between units of measurement.
Usage: Put one of the following lines (with nothing else) in a sandbox:
{{#invoke:convert/makeunits|makeunits}}{{subst:#invoke:convert/makeunits|makeunits}}
Previewing the sandbox should display the wikitext that needs to be copied and pasted into Module:Convert/data. If a problem occurs, warning messages will be displayed to indicate that the unit definitions need to be fixed.
By default, the module reads the unit definitions from Module:Convert/documentation/conversion data. For testing purposes, it is possible to specify that the definitions are read from another page, for example, User:Johnuniq/sandbox2, by specifying the wanted title:
{{#invoke:convert/makeunits|makeunits|User:Johnuniq/sandbox2}}{{subst:#invoke:convert/makeunits|makeunits|User:Johnuniq/sandbox2}}
The module contains table specials which is used to insert a small amount of "built-in" data that is not currently defined in the input wikitext.
The module reads data from Module:Convert/text to allow localization of the table of units for use on another wiki.
-- This module generates the wiktext required at [[Module:Convert/data]]
-- by reading and processing the wikitext of the unit definitions at
-- [[Module:Convert/documentation/conversion data/doc]].
--
-- Usage: Put the following line (with nothing else) in a sandbox:
-- {{#invoke:convert/makeunits|makeunits}}
-- Previewing the sandbox should display the required wikitext.
--
-- It is also possible to use the following where PAGE is replaced
-- with the title of the page holding the unit definitions.
-- {{#invoke:convert/makeunits|makeunits|PAGE}}
--
-- LATER:
-- If support additional currencies, need to update table:
-- local currency = { ['$'] = true, ['£'] = true }
--
-- Script method:
-- * Read lines, ignoring everything before "== Conversions ==".
-- * Process the following lines:
-- * Find next level-3 heading like "=== Length ===".
-- * Parse each following line starting with "|"
-- (but ignore lines starting with "|-" or "|}".
-- * Split such lines into fields (delimiter "||") and trim
-- leading/trailing whitespace from each field.
-- Remove any "colspan" at front of second field (symbol).
-- * Remove thousand separators (commas) from the scale field.
-- If the scale is a number, do not change it.
-- Otherwise, it should be an expression like "5/9", in
-- which case it is replaced by the value of the expression.
-- * Remove wiki formatting '[[...]]' from the link field.
-- * Remove redundant fields from the unit to reduce size of data table.
-- * Create alternative forms of a unit such as an alias or a combination.
-- * Stop processing when encounter end of text or a line starting
-- with a level-2 heading ("==" but not "===").
-- * Repeat above for each heading listed at prepare_data().
-- * Output Lua source for the units table.
--
-- -- Output has the following form.
