Hi Steve, thanks for reporting this issue.

After taking a closer look at the Help file for CONVERT (link below), I believe
there's a lot of room for improvement.
https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/scalc/01/04060116.html?DbPAR=CALC#bm_id3148446

For instance, the table with unit symbols could be replaced by the tables in
the wiki containing the actual names of all measurement units.

A few more examples could be added to the Help, specially those using prefixes.

Also, the binary prefixes in the Help should be displayed as tables.

My only concern is that, if we implement all of this, the CONVERT section in
this help page will be much longer that all the other functions combined. Keep
in mind that this help page also covers other functions as well.

To overcome this issue, my suggestion is to create a separate help page for
CONVERT, as is the case for many other functions as IMCOSH, IMCOT, etc. All of
them are listed in 04060116.xhp but have their own help pages.

By creating a new help page for CONVERT, we will have more freedom to add all
the relevant info.
