Template:BRLConvert/doc

Purpose
The purpose of this template is to automatically convert and format Brazilian real. Rates of exchange and inflation must be manually copied by editors in the supporting templates therefore this 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.

The default target currency (USD at present) may change in the future.

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