User:Wikid77/Template:Htbot

The Template:Htbot simply compares the given height to some common-sense levels of height, and then auto-formats the height in feet, with inches, .x, or rounded whole feet. Usage:

{{htbot|xxx.x}}

{{htbot|m=xxx.x}}

{{htbot|1.2}} - for 1.2 meters.

{{htbot|5300}} - for 5300 meters.

{{htbot|5|abbr=off}} - show "feet".

Options include: abbr=off, sp=us, disp=/, disp=or, adj=on (explained below).

The height levels for choosing format are based on meters (m):

m < 6: shows feet & inches

m < 50: shows feet to 1 decimal, xxx.x

m > 50: shows feet rounded to whole feet.

The parameter "m" defaults to the first unnamed parameter. For example:

{{htbot|abbr=no|34}} - uses "34"

Parameters:

• Parameter 1 is meters (or m=), can contain commas.
• abbr=off - turns off abbreviation, shows "meters" or "feet" (default: abbr=on).
• sp=us - triggers U.S. spelling, shows "meters" else "metres" (default: sp=en).
• disp=/   - displays slash between numbers (default: disp=b).
• disp=or - displays "or" between numbers (default: parentheses).
• adj=on - turns on adjective-mode, shows "-m" (default: adj=off).

Those parameters are the same as in template {{Convert}}.
