This is one of three templates used to automatically add conversions of weight measurements displayed by [[Template:Infobox person]] and other [[:Category:Infobox templates|infoboxes]] with a {{para|weight}} parameter.

# [[Template:Infobox person/weight]] changes text for units of weight to the abbreviations "kg", "lb", or "st", then passes the string to:
# [[Template:Infobox person/weight/locate]] which replaces any instances of <code>&nbsp;</code> with a space, and determines the positions of "kg", "lb", or "st" within that string, all of which is passed to:
# [[Template:Infobox person/weight/switch]] which does the conversion

== Usage ==

* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|108 kg}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|108 kg}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|108&nbsp;kg}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|108 kg}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|238 lb}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|238 lb}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|238&nbsp;lb}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|238 lb}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|17 st}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|17 st}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|17&nbsp;st}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|17 st}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|108 kg (2012)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|108 kg (2012)}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|108&nbsp;kg (2012)<ref>citation goes here</ref>}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|108 kg (2012)<ref>citation goes here</ref>}}

<references />

== Exceptions ==

Does not replace numbers in hard-coded conversions (examples intentionally show incorrect conversions):

* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|108 kg (229 lb)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|108 kg (229 lb)}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|238 lb (119 kg)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|238 lb (119 kg)}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|17 st (229 lb; 119 kg)}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|17 st (229 lb; 119 kg)}}

Does not replace numeric output of conversion templates such as {{tl|convert}} (examples have precision different than usual):

* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|{{convert|108|kg|lb|1|abbr=on}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|{{convert|108|kg|lb|1|abbr=on}}}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|{{convert|238|lb|kg|2|abbr=on}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|{{convert|238|lb|kg|2|abbr=on}}}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|{{convert|17|st|3|abbr=on}}}}</nowiki></code> → {{Template:Infobox person/weight/locate|{{convert|17|st|3|abbr=on}}}}

== Technical details ==

The following examples show how the template works:
