{{convert|100|lb|kg}} → 100 pounds (45 kg) The unit-codes should be treated as case-sensitive: {{convert|100|Mm|mm}} → 100 megametres (1.0 × 10 11 mm) The output of {{convert}} can display multiple converted units, if further unit-codes are specified after the second unnamed parameter (without the pipe separator). Typical combination ...
