Template:Size/doc
Displays a 1D (length), 2D (width × height) or 3D (width × height × depth) size, formatted according to localized format. For example if user language is English than measurements will be shown in both centimeters and inches, if user language is German than only metric units will be shown. Template mostly used in the "Dimensions" field of a {{Artwork}} template.
