模块:Convert/makeunits

-- This module generates the wikitext required at Module:Convert/data
-- by reading and processing the wikitext of the master list of units
-- (see conversion_data for the page title).
--
-- Script method:
-- * Read lines, ignoring everything before "== Conversions ==".
-- * Process the following lines:
--   * Find next level-3 heading like "=== Length ===".
--   * Parse each following line starting with "|"
--     (but ignore lines starting with "|-" or "|}".
--   * Split such lines into fields (delimiter "||") and trim
--     leading/trailing whitespace from each field.
--     Remove any "colspan" at front of second field (symbol).
--   * Remove thousand separators (commas) from the scale field.
--     If the scale is a number, do not change it.
--     Otherwise, it should be an expression like "5/9", in
--     which case it is replaced by the value of the expression.
--   * Remove wiki formatting '[[...]]' from the link field.
--   * Remove redundant fields from the unit to reduce size of data table.
--   * Create alternative forms of a unit such as an alias or a combination.
-- * Stop processing when encounter end of text or a line starting
--   with a level-2 heading ("==" but not "===").
-- * Repeat above for each heading listed at prepare_data().
-- * Output Lua source for the units table.
--
-- -- Output has the following form.
