Template:Format price/doc

Template page

This template displays numbers typically representing prices in a pleasant way, ideally suited for articles. Numbers one thousand or greater are reduced down and rounded to a total of three digits followed by a multiplier text, and smaller numbers receive separators and exactly two digits to represent cents, which does not always happen with the {{formatnum:}} magic word.

Usage

{{Format price|value|digits}}

Where:

  • value: the value that will be formatted and displayed (required).
  • digits: sets the digit in which a value lower than one thousand 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. Despite its name, this template only handles the number-formatting, not any unit symbols – consider {{currency}} for that separate feature.
