Miscellaneous
- The template is set to British English by default. For American English spelling, use
|sp=us. For example:{{Convert|6.2|ft|cm|sp=us}}will change the spelling of "centimetres" to "centimeters". - To flip the display of conversions, use
|disp=flip. For example,{{Convert|6.2|ft|cm|disp=flip}}will flip the starting Imperial measurement as the converted measurement. - To specify the decimal point for a more accurate conversion, use
|sigfig=. For example,{{Convert|300|m|ft|sigfig=6}}will give a more accurate conversion of 300 metres (Template:Convert/sround ft) over 300 metres ({{rnd/bExpression error: Unexpected < operator.|Expression error: Unexpected < operator.|(Expression error: Unexpected < operator.)|Expression error: Unexpected < operator.}} ft) (which uses{{Convert|300|m|ft}}).
