{{tsh|BDT}}
This is a multifunction template. At its simplest, it adds the currency mark "৳", as recommended by [[MOS:CURRENCY]] for many situations. The template can also link to the [[Bangladeshi taka]] article and can even calculate inflation. <em>See warnings below.</em>

== Usage ==
{{tlxi|BDT|value}}

Example:
* {{tld|BDT}} → {{BDT}}
* {{tld|BDT|123.45}} → {{BDT|123.45}}

=== Link ===
The parameter {{para|link|yes}} may be used to link ৳ to the article [[Bangladeshi taka]]. This is turned off by default, but may be appropriate for the first occurrence of the term in an article.

Example:
* {{tld|BDT|123.45|3=link=yes}} → {{BDT|123.45|link=yes}}

=== Inflation calculation ===
{{ombox |type= content |imageright= [[File:Emblem-money.svg|42px]] |text= This template is <strong>only capable</strong> of inflating Consumer Price Index values: staples, workers' rent, small service bills (doctor's costs, train tickets). This template is <strong>incapable</strong> of inflating capital expenses, government expenses, or the personal wealth and expenditure of the rich. <strong>Incorrect use of this template would constitute original research. If you yourself do not have economic training, then please consult someone who does before using this template.</strong>}}
{{ombox |type= content |imageright= [[File:Current event warning.svg|42px]] |text= <strong>Do not assume that using this template will mean that a calculated value is <em>"current"</em></strong>, <em>"as of {{CURRENTYEAR}}"</em>, <em>"as of {{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}-1}}"</em> or even necessarily <em>"recent"</em>. Do not use <code><nowiki>{{CURRENTYEAR}}</nowiki></code> to refer to calculated value, instead {{tlx|Inflation/year|BD}} may be used. See also [[MOS:REALTIME]].}}

The template supports inflation calculation, by way of {{tlx|Inflation}}. If the second parameter is used, to specify a year, and this year is within a certain range of available inflation data (specifically, {{nowrap|if {{Inflation/BD/startyear}} ≤ <code>{{var|year}}</code> < {{Inflation/year|BD}}}}), the equivalent value represented in {{Inflation/year|BD}} taka will be calculated in parentheses. However, this function should only be used in appropriate situations.

* {{tlxi|BDT|value|year}}
* {{tlx|BDT|{{var|value}}|{{var|year}}|4=round={{var|round}}|5=about=yes}}

Examples:
* {{tld|BDT|100|{{#expr:{{Inflation/BD/startyear}}-1}}}} → {{BDT|100|{{#expr:{{Inflation/BD/startyear}}-1}}}}
* {{tld|BDT|100|{{Inflation/BD/startyear}}}} → {{BDT|100|{{Inflation/BD/startyear}}}}
* {{tld|BDT|100|1990}} → {{BDT|100|1990}}
* {{tld|BDT|100|1990|4=link=yes}} → {{BDT|100|1990|link=yes}}
* {{tld|BDT|100|{{#expr:{{Inflation/year|BD}}-1}}}} → {{BDT|100|{{#expr:{{Inflation/year|BD}}-1}}}}
* {{tld|BDT|100|{{Inflation/year|BD}}}} → {{BDT|100|{{Inflation/year|BD}}}}
* {{tld|BDT|100|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}} → {{BDT|100|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
* {{tld|BDT|100|{{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}+1}}}} → {{BDT|100|{{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}+1}}}}

Additional parameter {{para|about|yes}} will cause the template to calculate to the nearest taka (instead of the nearest poisha), and prefix the calculated value with "about". The rounding can be fine-tuned further by using {{para|round|{{var|integer}}}}. These parameters may be combined.

Examples:
* {{tld|BDT|10|1990}} → {{BDT|10|1990}}
* {{tld|BDT|10|1990|4=round=0}} → {{BDT|10|1990|round=0}}
* {{tld|BDT|10|1990|4=about=yes}} → {{BDT|10|1990|about=yes}}
* {{tld|BDT|1000|1990|4=round=2}} → {{BDT|1000|1990|round=2}}
* {{tld|BDT|1000|1990|4=round=-2}} → {{BDT|1000|1990|round=-2}}
* {{tld|BDT|1000|1990|4=round=-2|5=about=yes}} → {{BDT|1000|1990|round=-2|about=yes}}
