Template:GBP/doc

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

Usage
Example:
 * → GB£
 * → GB£123.45

Link
The parameter 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:
 * → GB£123.45

Suppress "GB"
By specifying no, display of "GB" before the "£" sign may be suppressed when it is clear from context that the Pound Sterling is meant, rather than other currencies that use £ the symbol.

Example:
 * → GB£123.45

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



Examples:
 * → GB£100
 * → GB£100
 * → GB£100 1966
 * → GB£100 1966
 * → GB£100
 * → GB£100
 * → GB£100 2024
 * → GB£100

Additional parameter 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 integer. These parameters may be combined.

Examples:
 * → GB£10 1990
 * → GB£10 1990
 * → GB£10 1990
 * → GB£1000 1990
 * → GB£1000 1990
 * → GB£1000 1990
