<!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE -->

This template is intended to perform {{wpl|inch}}-to-{{wpl|centimetre|centimeter}} conversions.  It converts single values, ranges, as well as two- and three-dimensional measurements.

==Accepted parameters==
''Italicized'' parameters are optional:
*'''num''', or '''l''' (length), or '''from''', or '''first unnamed parameter''' is a required parameter, which specifies the number of inches to be converted to centimeters (for single value conversions), or length (for two- and three-dimensional conversions), or start of range (for range conversions).  Please do not format this parameter; i.e., use 1234 instead of 1,234.
*'''''w''''' (width), or '''''to''''', or '''''second unnamed parameter''''' is a parameter specifying width (for dimensional conversions) or end of range (for range conversions) in inches to be converted to centimeters.  Please do not format this parameter; i.e., use 1234 instead of 1,234.
*'''''h''''' (height) or '''''third unnamed parameter''''' is a parameter specifying height (for three-dimensional conversions) in inches to be converted to centimeters.  Please do not format this parameter; i.e., use 1234 instead of 1,234.
*'''''convtype''''' (conversion type) can take values of either ''range'' or ''dim''.  ''Range'' is only meaningful when two values are supplied for conversion.  The default value is ''dim''.
*'''''abbr''''' can take values of either ''mos'', ''yes'', or ''no''.  ''Mos'' will show the names of the units as specified in the [[WP:MOSNUM#Units of measurement|Manual of Style for dates and numbers]] (inches, cm); ''yes'' will show the abbreviated names of the units (in, cm); and ''no'' will show the full names of the units (inches, centimeters).  With dimensional conversions, all values will be separated with the "by" preposition when the parameter is set to ''no'', and with the "×" sign when the parameter is set to ''yes''.  When the parameter is set to ''mos'', inch values will be separated with the "by" preposition, and the converted values in centimeters&mdash;with the "×" sign.  The default value is ''mos''.
*'''''spell''''' can take values of ''American'' or ''Commonwealth'' and is only meaningful when ''abbr'' is set to ''no''.  ''American'' will use "centimeters", and ''Commonwealth''&mdash;"centimetres".  The default value is ''American''.
*'''''precision''''' is the number of decimal digits in the converted value.  The default value is&nbsp;0 for converted values equal or more than&nbsp;10 and 1 for converted values of less than&nbsp;10.
*'''''wiki''''' specifies whether the names of the units should be wikified or not and can take values of either ''yes'' or ''no''. The default value is ''no''.

Capitalization of the parameters is unimportant.

==Usage and examples==
===Single value conversion===
;Usage:
:<nowiki>{{in to cm | num | abbr | spell | precision | wiki}}</nowiki>

;Examples
:''[[WP:MOSNUM#Units of measurement|Manual of Style]] notation'': <nowiki>{{in to cm|1}}</nowiki>&nbsp;&rarr; {{in to cm|1}}
:''Short notation'': <nowiki>{{in to cm|1|abbr=yes}}</nowiki>&nbsp;&rarr; {{in to cm|1|abbr=yes}}
:''Full notation'': <nowiki>{{in to cm|num=1|abbr=no|spell=Commonwealth|precision=2|wiki=yes}}</nowiki>&nbsp;&rarr; {{in to cm|num=1|abbr=no|spell=Commonwealth|precision=2|wiki=yes}}

===Range conversions===
;Usage
:<nowiki>{{in to cm | from | to | convtype | abbr | spell | precision | wiki}}</nowiki>

;Examples
:''[[WP:MOSNUM#Units of measurement|Manual of Style]] notation'': <nowiki>{{in to cm|10|20|convtype=range}}</nowiki>&nbsp;&rarr; {{in to cm|10|20|convtype=range}}
:''Short notation'': <nowiki>{{in to cm|10|20|convtype=range|abbr=yes}}</nowiki>&nbsp;&rarr; {{in to cm|10|20|convtype=range|abbr=yes}}
:''Full notation'': <nowiki>{{in to cm|from=10|to=20|convtype=range|abbr=no|spell=Commonwealth|precision=1|wiki=yes}}</nowiki>&nbsp;&rarr; {{in to cm|from=10|to=20|convtype=range|abbr=no|spell=Commonwealth|precision=1|wiki=yes}}

===Two-dimensional conversions===
;Usage
:<nowiki>{{in to cm | l | w | convtype | abbr | spell | precision | wiki}}</nowiki>

;Examples
:''[[WP:MOSNUM#Units of measurement|Manual of Style]] notation'': <nowiki>{{in to cm|10|20}}</nowiki>&nbsp;&rarr; {{in to cm|10|20}}
:''Short notation'': <nowiki>{{in to cm|10|20|abbr=yes}}</nowiki>&nbsp;&rarr; {{in to cm|10|20|abbr=yes}}
:''Full notation'': <nowiki>{{in to cm|l=10|w=20|convtype=dim|abbr=no|spell=Commonwealth|precision=1|wiki=yes}}</nowiki>&nbsp;&rarr; {{in to cm|l=10|w=20|convtype=dim|abbr=no|spell=Commonwealth|precision=1|wiki=yes}}

===Three-dimensional conversions===
;Usage
:<nowiki>{{in to cm | l | w | h | convtype | abbr | spell | precision | wiki}}</nowiki>

;Examples
:''[[WP:MOSNUM#Units of measurement|Manual of Style]] notation'': <nowiki>{{in to cm|1|2|3}}</nowiki>&nbsp;&rarr; {{in to cm|1|2|3}}
:''Short notation'': <nowiki>{{in to cm|1|2|3|abbr=yes}}</nowiki>&nbsp;&rarr; {{in to cm|1|2|3|abbr=yes}}
:''Full notation'': <nowiki>{{in to cm|l=1|w=2|h=3|convtype=dim|abbr=no|spell=Commonwealth|precision=2|wiki=yes}}</nowiki>&nbsp;&rarr; {{in to cm|l=1|w=2|h=3|convtype=dim|abbr=no|spell=Commonwealth|precision=2|wiki=yes}}
