 | This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. |
Template documentation
Purpose
The purpose of this template is to automatically convert and format currency from Pakistani rupees to other currencies (United States Dollars by default) applying adjustment for inflation where appropriate. Rates of exchange and inflation must be manually copied by editors therefore the template's output does not necessarily reflect the present exchange rates or price indices but, rather, reflects the rates and indices at the time of the last update.
Usage
{{PKRConvert|rupee_value|currency_formatting|rounding digits|nolink=(yes/no)|to=|year=}}
Parameters
A description of the template's parameters are listed below.
| Field name | Usage | Description |
rupee_value |
mandatory | The value, in Pakistani rupees, that needs to be converted. The template will not accept pre-formatted values (e.g. 1,234) |
currency_formatting |
optional | Used to represent larger numbers. Available options include :
|
rounding_digits |
optional | Used to round significant digits. Negative values (-2, -3) can be used to round values to the nearest hundred or thousand, etc. A value of "0" will drop paise or cent values from the converted number. By default the conversion will be rounded to two significant figures. Refer to the Examples section below for more examples. |
nolink |
optional | This parameter gives you the option of not internally linking currency names (Rupees and paise) and number names (lakh and crore). By default, the parameter is set to "no" (i.e. it is set to link). Currency and number names will be displayed with no links when the parameter is set to "yes". Per WP:OVERLINK the currencies converted to are not linked. |
year |
optional | This parameter allows for inflation. Historic rupee values will be inflated to current values then converted. |
to |
optional | This parameter allows for conversion to various different currencies (and some combinations). The US, INR, Canadian, NZ and Australian dollars, the euro, the UK pound and the Bangladeshi taka are supported. |
