To allow users to enter values in different units of measurement, this page specifies several custom unit for this datatype:


 * corresponds to::1 in, ", inch, inches
 * corresponds to::2.54 cm, centimeter

Editors can add more units and alternative representations. To allow users to enter units in several forms, you add alternate representations separated by commas; for example this datatype supports "squared" using  2  or a Unicode character.

The main unit is the first unit with 1:1 correspondence. In the factbox and inline queries, values display converted into this unit first (unless a property specifies different display units).
