Tɛmplet:Exchange Rate/doc

Usage

This template only requires the currency code. Place it in the first parameter, as in the following example:

{{Exchange rate|TWD}}

which produces

Additional currencies

You may also specify up to three additional foreign currencies.

{{Exchange rate|SGD|MYR|THB|IDR}}

produces

Alternative layouts

If you don't like navbox style you can specify style = h3 or style = h2 which produces something more like standard text. Using header = h3 or header = h2 also have the same effect.

{{Exchange rate|EUR|style=h3}}

produces

Tɛmplet:Exchange rate The |style= parameter overrides the |header= parameter, but not vice versa. Thus, if the template is called with header = h3 but style = navbox, it will display as a navbox. If it is called with header = h3 and no specification for |style=, on the other hand, |header= will be used and it will show up as text instead of as a nabvox.

You may specify header = h3 or header = h2 so that the mock header looks like the level 3 header or level 2 header, respectively. By default, the template displays like a navbox. This template currently only supports an overridden mock headers 2 and 3, not level 4, 5, or 6.

{{Exchange rate|EUR|header = h3}}

produces

Caveat

• While "Current XYZ exchange rates" maintains the appearance of a section heading, it is not. This was done to avoid having a section-edit link on the right so that people won't accidentally change the template. However, the side effect of that is the font size won't change in IE (at least IE 6) when enlarging or shrinking the text size.
