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|5|ft|2|in|cm|sigfig=4|abbr=off}}}} → 5 ft 2 in (157.5 cm)

  • output of convert template: 1.57 metres (5 feet 1.8 inches)
• {{Infobox person/height|{{Convert|157|cm|ftin|1|abbr=off}}}} → 157 cm (5 ft 1.8 in)
  • output of convert template: 157 centimetres (5 feet 1.8 inches)
• {{Infobox person/height|{{Height|m=1.57|frac=4|abbr=no}}}} → 1.57 m (5 ft 1 ³⁄₄ in)
  • output of convert template: 1.57 metres (5 feet 1 ³⁄₄ inches)
• {{Infobox person/height|{{Height|cm=157|frac=4|abbr=no}}}} → 157 cm (5 ft 1 ³⁄₄ in)
  • output of convert template: 157 centimetres (5 feet 1 ³⁄₄ inches)

Period at end of abbreviation displays after the conversion:

• {{Infobox person/height|1.52 m.}} → 1.52 m (5 ft 0 in).

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
