Hi,

There is an issue concerning unit conversions in wikitext:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=235

This one doesn't deserved any attention since a long time. The original 
proposition was about converting units "on the fly" regarding user preferences. 
I don't know if it is feasible and/or desirable.

I propose to work on something less ambitious: adding a parser function to 
provide conversion - maybe in ParserFunction.

The idea would be something like:
{{#unit: 1000 ft|m}} =>  <span title="304m (1000ft)">304m</span>


If I start working on this, will anyone accept to review the code?


Thanks in advance,
Sylvain.
