Template:Convert/list of units
The table belaw leets units supportit bi this template. It is dividit up accordin tae the quantity bein measured. No aw supportit units are leetit here; thare are links tae mair complete leets for each quantity.
The codes leetit in the code column (column 3) are acceptit as input bi the template. Thir can be uised as the seicont or third unnamit parameter. For some units thare exist alternative codes. Thir are leetit in brackets an hae been incorporatit tae mak the code mair flexible for editors, e.g. °F or F mey be entered.
The codes leetit in the combinations column (column 7) can be uised tae produce multiple conversions. Thay can anerlie be uised as the third unnamit parameter, e.g. {{convert|55|nmi|km mi}}
produces "55 nautical mile (102 km; 63 mi)".
