A One-Off Task I Didn't Want to Script

I was reviewing generated documentation before merging a branch.

Most of it was automated, but one section referenced physical dimensions in millimeters. I needed the same values in centimeters to match an internal note.

This was a classic one-off task. Writing a script would’ve taken longer than the task itself.

I handled it manually using a simple online conversion page, verified the value, and moved on. I didn’t integrate it, bookmark it, or reuse it.

For this kind of situation, something like https://mmtocm.net
is just a temporary step — not part of the toolchain.
