Template:Format price/doc

This template display 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 received separators and exactly two digits to represent cents, what doesn't always happen with the {{formatnum:}} magic word.

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 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.

• Y {{Formatprice|456.789|1}} = 456.80
• Y {{Formatprice|456.789|0}} = 457
• Y {{Formatprice|456.789|-2}} = 500
• Y ${{Formatprice|1234}} = $1.23 thousand
• Y ${{Formatprice|12345}} = $12.3 thousand
• Y ${{Formatprice|123456}} = $123 thousand
• Y ${{Formatprice|1000000}} = $1 million
• Y ¥{{Formatprice|98765432109876}} = ¥98.8 trillion
• Y {{Formatprice|7.86178E+25}} atoms = 78.6 septillion atoms
