<li>This parser will convert numbers with metric prefixes ("Mega", "Giga", etc) into appropriate values so they are sorted correctly.</li>
<li>The base name must be included in the header:
<ul>
<li>The base is the unit of measure, such as "byte", "meter", "liter", etc.</li>
<li>When saving the base, include both the abbreviation and full name of the base separated by a vertical bar (shift-\) <code>b|byte</code>.</li>
<li>Store this information within the header's data-attribute (<code>data-metric-name="b|byte"</code>).</li>
<li>If no base information is found, it will default to <code>m|meter</code>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Because metric prefixes can be applied to binary values, the parser will calculate the cached value based on the binary multiple, i.e. <code>"1 kb"</code> is actually <code>"1024 bytes"</code>. See <ahref="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_prefix#Binary_prefixes">this article</a> for more details.</li>
<li>This parser does not (yet) support the IEC recommendations for binary prefixes (i.e. "kibibyte (Kib)", "mebibyte (MiB)", etc).</li>
<li>Supported prefixes include: Yotta (10<sup>24</sup>), Zetta (10<sup>21</sup>), Exa (10<sup>18</sup>), Peta (10<sup>15</sup>), Tera (10<sup>12</sup>), Giga (10<sup>9</sup>), Mega (10<sup>6</sup>), kilo (10<sup>3</sup>), hecto (10<sup>2</sup>), deka (10<sup>1</sup>), deci (10<sup>-1</sup>), centi (10<sup>-2</sup>), milli (10<sup>-3</sup>), micro (10<sup>-6</sup>), nano (10<sup>-9</sup>), pico (10<sup>-12</sup>), femto (10<sup>-15</sup>), atto (10<sup>-18</sup>), zepto (10<sup>-21</sup>) and yocto (10<sup>-24</sup>).</li>
