Call this template to convert between metric and imperial units of length. Both the original and converted length will be displayed, with the unit you supplied coming first. See Template:Temp for a temperature conversion template.
Supported conversions
Here are all the conversions supported by the template. If you want anything else to be supported, it's fairly easy to add new conversions: copy a line and change the unit names and the constant for converting between them.
cm <-> in
{{Dist|100|cm|in}}
yields
100 cm (39.37 in)
{{Dist|100|in|cm}}
yields
100 in (254 cm)
in <-> m
{{Dist|2|m|in}}
yields
2 m (78.74 in)
{{Dist|21|in|m}}
yields
21 in (0.53 m)
m <-> ft
{{Dist|100|ft|m}}
yields
100 ft (30.48 m)
{{Dist|100|m|ft}}
yields
100 m (328.08 ft)
km <-> mi
{{Dist|100|km|mi}}
yields
100 km (62.14 mi)
{{Dist|100|mi|km}}
yields
100 mi (160.93 km)
in -> ft
Dist also supports a special conversion from inches to feet-and-inches:
{{Dist|21|in|ft}}
yields
21 in (1 ft 9 in)
Precision
An optional "dec" parameter specifies the number of decimal places to provide in the conversion.
{{Dist|100|mi|km|dec=1}}
yields
100 mi (160.9 km)
{{Dist|100|mi|km|dec=0}}
yields
100 mi (161 km)
Display
An optional "po" parameter, when set to "yes", tells the template to only print the converted product.
{{Dist|100|cm|in|po=yes}}
yields
39.37 in
