Currently building a site on energy efficiency. I have a team of scientists readying articles for our custom Django CMS with lots of numbers and attached units located in their contributions. I would like to offer visitors a way to switch between metric or imperial units.
Discovered the django.contrib.gis.measure module and the Python Markdown module. What do you reckon is the best way to implement unit switching? Develop a Markdown module that provides syntax for marking numbers and the units next to them?
I found this link on Stackoverflow which points out how to convert. The question is how to pick up on the units and then call the conversion?
Thanks for your input!
