===Use===
This template creates one [[Help:Sorting|sortable cell]] of a sortable table displaying a measurement formatted in [[international feet]] (of exactly 0.3048 meter) followed with the same measurement formatted in [[meter]]s. This template is an alternative to [[Template:Moft]] for the [[United States]].

The syntax of this template is:
<nowiki>{{ftom|var1|a=|d=|l=|p=|s=}}</nowiki>
where:
*var1 is a real number representing the measurement in metres (may not contain a [[thousands separator]]), # for sea level, or NA if not available.
*a is an optional alignment parameter:
**a=left yields left alignment
**a=center yields center alignment (default)
**a=right yields right alignment
*d is an optional integer representing the number of decimal places to display (default=0)
*l is an optional lines parameter:
**l=1 yields a single-line display
**l=2 yields a double-line display (default)
*p is an optional prefix to display before each number, e.g. about , ~, >, < (default is no prefix)
*s is an optional style parameter:
**s= yields regular style (default)
**s=<nowiki>''</nowiki> yields ''italic style''
**s=<nowiki>'''</nowiki> yields '''bold style'''
**s=<nowiki>'''''</nowiki> yields '''''bold italic style'''''

===Example===
The use of this template is illustrated in the sortable table below:
{|class="wikitable sortable"
![[Summit (topography)|Peak]]
![[Wikitext]]
![[Elevation]]
|-
|[[Mount McKinley]]
|<nowiki>{{ftom|6193.536}}</nowiki>
{{ftom|6193.536}}
|-
|[[Mount Saint Elias]]
|<nowiki>{{ftom|5488.838}}</nowiki>
{{ftom|5488.838}}
|-
|[[Mount Foraker]]
|<nowiki>{{ftom|5303.520}}</nowiki>
{{ftom|5303.520}}
|-
|}
