Usage [edit]
- {{#formatnum:number|number of decimals|decimal separator|thousand separator|old thousand separator}}
- {{#formatnum:number|decs=number of decimals|dsep=decimal separator|tsep=thousand separator|otsep=old thousand separator|format=DIN or ISO|mint=minimal number to separate thousands}}
- otsep: thousands separator in the number given, that will be removed. For example when having a number like 123.456.789,123 and setting otsep=. will remove all points from the number before converting.
- mint: the minimal number given to separate thousands. For example when setting to 4 the number 1234 will remain as is and 12345 will be separated to 12 345.
Examples [edit]
- {{#formatnum: 2300.123|2|,|_}}
- result: 2 300,12
- {{#formatnum: 2300.123|2|.|,}}
- result: 2,300.12
- {{#formatnum: 2300.123|2}}
- result: 2,300.12
