ਫਰਮਾ:GBP/doc

This is a multifunction template. At its simplest, it adds the currency mark "£", as recommended by for many situations. The template can also link to the Pound sterling article and can even calculate inflation. See warnings below.

Usage

{{GBP|value}}

Example:

• {{GBP}} → £
• {{GBP|123.45}} → £123.45

Link

The parameter |link=yes may be used to link to the article Pound sterling. This is turned off by default, but may be appropriate for the first occurrence of the term in an article.

Example:

• {{GBP|123.45|link=yes}} → £123.45

Display "GB"

By specifying |long=yes, display of "GB" before the "£" sign may be enabled when additional context is required to demonstrate Pound Sterling is meant, rather than other currencies that use £ the symbol.

Example:

• {{GBP|123.45|long=yes}} → GB£123.45

Inflation calculation

The template supports inflation calculation, by way of {{Inflation}}. If the second parameter is used, to specify a year, and this year is within a certain range of available inflation data (specifically, if 1209 ≤ year < 2021), the equivalent value represented in 2021 pound will be calculated in parentheses. However, this function should only be used in appropriate situations.

• {{GBP|value|year}}
• {{GBP|value|year|round=round|about=yes}}

Examples:

• {{GBP|100|1208}} → £100
• {{GBP|100|1209}} → £100 (equivalent to £1,49,895 in 2021)
• {{GBP|100|1966}} → £100 (equivalent to £1,982 in 2021)
• {{GBP|100|1966|link=yes}} → £100 (equivalent to £1,982 in 2021)
• {{GBP|100|2020}} → £100 (equivalent to £104.06 in 2021)
• {{GBP|100|2021}} → £100
• {{GBP|100|2024}} → £100
• {{GBP|100|2025}} → £100

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

Examples:

• {{GBP|10|1990}} → £10 (equivalent to £24.18 in 2021)
• {{GBP|10|1990|round=0}} → £10 (equivalent to £24 in 2021)
• {{GBP|10|1990|about=yes}} → £10 (equivalent to about £24 in 2021)
• {{GBP|1000|1990|round=2}} → £1,000 (equivalent to £2,418 in 2021)
• {{GBP|1000|1990|round=-2}} → £1,000 (equivalent to £2,400 in 2021)
• {{GBP|1000|1990|round=-2|about=yes}} → £1,000 (equivalent to about £2,400 in 2021)
