Module:Sandbox/RexxS/Units

 -- This module creates a table of tables 
 -- principally intended for converting the Wikidata QID of a unit into the code used by {{convert}}
 --
 -- It is meant to be imported with require() into other modules where it will make available:
 -- e.g. unitByQid["Q11573"]["convertcode"] which has the value 'm'
 -- e.g. unitByQid["Q11573"]["singular"] which has the value 'metre'
 --
 -- unitByQid will become a table in the scope of wherever it is called
 -- Note: module formerly had entries for abbreviation, but {{convert}} is best placed to handle that

 local s = "singular"
 local p = "plural"
 local c = "convertcode"
