Template:Formatprice/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template display numbers typically representing prices in a pleasant way, ideally suited for articles. Numbers above one million are reduced down and rounded to a total of three digits followed by a multiplier text, and smaller numbers received separators and exactly two digits to represent cents, what doesn't always happen with the {{formatnum:}} magic word.

[edit] Usage

{{Formatprice|value|digits}}

Where:

• value – the value that will be formatted and displayed (required).
• digits – sets the digit in which a value lower than one million must be rounded, defaulting to "2" (cents) if unspecified.

Providing non-numeric parameters, failing to provide any parameter, or providing a negative value parameter, result all in a link to the NaN article.
