Note

The conversion element is designed to store information about converting from one unit of measurement to another. The @formula attribute holds an XPath expression that indicates how the measurement system in @fromUnit is converted to the system in @toUnit. Do not confuse the usage of the dating attributes (@from and @to) in the examples with the attributes (@fromUnit and @toUnit) designed to reference units of measure.

Examples

<conversion fromUnit="#shilling" toUnit="#pence" formula="$fromUnit * 12" from="1707" to="1971"/>

<conversion fromUnit="#pound" toUnit="#shilling" formula="$fromUnit * 20" from="1701" to="1971"/>
