Template:PKRConvert

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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 : k – to represent thousand(s) l – to represent lakh(s) c – to represent crore(s) m – to represent million(s) b – to represent billion(s) t – to represent trillion(s) Brackets in the sense may be singular (or) plural.
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.
