Formdec

Template documentation [view] [edit] [refresh]
Note: The template above may sometimes be partially or fully invisible.

Description

This template is a shortcut for using parser function "formatnum" together with Template:Decimals.

Instead of typing {{formatnum:{{decimals| and your data, accomplish the same thing with fewer keystrokes by typing {{formdec| and your data.

Syntax

{{Formdec|<number or expression>|<(optional) decimals (limited to 12) (0 if omitted)>}}

The second parameter, "decimals", is optional. If decimals is omitted, the template use a default value of 0.

Optional super-shortcut:

Editors may save time (and code space) by using {{Fd}} in place of {{Formdec}}.

• {{formatnum:{{decimals|9876*1234/56|1}}}} → 217,624.7
•              {{formdec|9876*1234/56|1}}   → 217,624.7
•                   {{fd|9876*1234/56|1}}   → 217,624.7

• {{formatnum:{{decimals|9876*1234/56|0}}}} → 217,625
•              {{formdec|9876*1234/56|0}}   → 217,625
•                   {{fd|9876*1234/56|0}}   → 217,625

•   {{formatnum:{{decimals|9876*1234/56}}}} → 217,625
