Usage

| Keyword | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | | gc <amount> <from unit abbreviation> <to unit abbreviation> | Convert the amount of the from unit to the to unit. |

The from and to unit are case sensitive.

Just entering the keyword will give you the full list of units to choose from in Flow. If you want to remove the keyword for this plugin and have it return results when you simply start entering a number then go to the Plugin settings and turn this helper text off.

Entering the keyword, amount and from unit will give you a subset list of units the from unit can be converted to

Units

The following units and their abbreviations can be used (each table can only convert among its' own units):
