Template:NPRConvert/doc

Purpose

The purpose of this template is to automatically convert and format currency from Nepalese 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.

Nepali Currency Conversion is pegged to the Indian Rupee so, calculation can be made based with Indian Rupees.

Usage

{{NPRConvert|rupee_value|currency_formatting|rounding digits|lk=|to=|year=}}

Parameters

A description of the template's parameters are listed below.

Field name	Usage	Description
rupee_value	mandatory	The value, in Nepalese Rupees, that needs to be converted. The template will not accept pre-formatted values (i.e. 1,234).
currency_formatting	optional	Used to represent larger numbers. Available options are as follows. k – to represent thousand(s) l – to represent lakh(s) c – to represent crore(s) lc – to represent lakh 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 Paisa 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.
lk	optional	This parameter gives you the option of internally linking currency names (rupees and Paisa) and/or number names (lakh and crore). By default, the parameter is set to "off" (i.e. it is set not to link). Available options are as follows. on – to link "rupee"/"Paisa" and "lakh"/"crore"/"billion" r – to link "rupee"/"Paisa" b – to link "billion" t – to link "trillion" l – to link "lakh" c – to link "crore" lc – to link "lakh" and "crore" On by default.
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). Currently, the US (default), Canadian, Australian and New Zealand dollars, the euro, the pound sterling, Pakistani rupee and the Bangladeshi taka are supported.
mode	optional	This parameter controls the output mode. Setting it to blank or omitting it results in the default mode. Setting it to historical allows conversion using historical exchange rates. The year parameter must be between 1970 and 2018 in historical mode.

Precautions

Using the |year= causes the calling page's Highest expansion depth to be very high, typically at least 33. The limit is 40. Take particular care using |year= when calling this template from within other templates, as this will further increase the template expansion depth of Wikipedia pages that call templates that call this one.

Summary
