Template:Format price
Format price error: cannot parse value ""
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]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
{{Format price|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. Despite its name, this template only handles the number-formatting, not any unit symbols – consider {{currency}} for that separate feature.
Examples
{{Format price|1.2}}= 1.20-
{{Format price|456.789}}= 456.79 -
{{Format price|456.789|1}}= 456.80 -
{{Format price|456.789|0}}= 457 -
{{Format price|456.789|-2}}= 500 -

Wrong
