Template:Infobox person/height is one of three templates used to automatically add conversions of height measurements displayed by Template:Infobox person and other infoboxes with a |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

{{Convert}} templates generating wikilinked unit names:
{{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|lk=on|abbr=on}}}}→ 5 ft 2 in (1.57 m){{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|lk=on|abbr=off}}}}→ 5 ft 2 in (1.57 m){{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|1.57|m|lk=on|abbr=on}}}}→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in){{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|1.57|m|lk=on|abbr=off}}}}→ 1.57 m (5 ft 2 in){{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|157|cm|ftin|lk=on|abbr=on}}}}→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in){{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|157|cm|ftin|lk=on|abbr=off}}}}→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in)
Exceptions
badloDoes not replace numbers in hard-coded conversions, but does replace unit names with abbreviations (examples intentionally show incorrect conversions):
{{Infobox person/height|5 feet 2 inches (1.00 metres)}}→ 5 ft 2 in (1.00 m){{Infobox person/height|157 centimetres (5 feet 5 inches)}}→ 157 cm (5 ft 5 in)
Does not replace numeric output of conversion templates such as {{convert}} or {{height}}, but does replace unit names with abbreviations (examples have different precision than usual):
{{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=off}}}}→ 5 ft 2 in (1.575 m)- output of convert template: 5 feet 2 inches (1.575 metres)
{{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=off}}}}→ 1.57 m (5 ft 1.8 in)- output of convert template: 1.57 metres (5 feet 1.8 inches)
{{Infobox person/height|{{Height|ft=5|in=2|precision=3|abbr=no}}}}→ Template:Height- output of convert template: Template:Height
{{Infobox person/height|{{Height|m=1.57|frac=4|abbr=no}}}}→ Template:Height- output of convert template: Template:Height
Period at end of abbreviation displays after the conversion:
{{Infobox person/height|5 m.}}→ 5 m (16 ft 5 in).{{Infobox person/height|5 ft.}}→ 5 ft (152 cm).
Multiple unit conversions won't work if input contains periods or commas:
{{Infobox person/height|5 ft. 2 in}}→ 5 ft. 2 in{{Infobox person/height|5 ft, 2 in}}→ 5 ft, 2 in
Does not recognize symbols for feet and inches:
{{Infobox person/height|5' 2"}}→ 5' 2"{{Infobox person/height|5′ 2″}}→ 5′ 2″{{Infobox person/height|157cm (5' 2")}}→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in) (5' 2"){{Infobox person/height|157cm (5′ 2″)}}→ 157 cm (5 ft 2 in) (5′ 2″)
