Template:Format price/doc

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

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.

Examples

• Y = 1.20
• Y = 456.79
• Y = 456.80
• Y = 457
• Y = 500
• Y $ = $1,234
• Y $ = $12,345
• Y $ = $123,456
• Y $ = $1 million
• Y ¥ = ¥98.8 trillion
• Y atoms = 78.6 septillion atoms

Wrong

• N = (empty parameter)
• N = (empty first parameter)
• N = (negative values are invalid)
• N = (only numeric values are allowed)
• N = (overflow)
