Experiment: jQuery Measurement Unit Switcher Plugin
Overview
This plugin takes a class called "hd-munit-switcher" and adds a switcher so users can change the measurement unit. Users can determine the type of measurement with rel and number, which is placed within the tag.
Planned changes include:
- Support for other measurements
- Combine everything into a single zip
- Improvements dealing with fractions
- Options for rounding
