This [[Help:Template|template]] takes two numbers and formats the first number and the percent increase or decrease to the second number for use in two columns of a table in ascending order. This template is invoked recursively by [[Template:Changes]].

==Use==
This template has the following syntax:
:'''<code><nowiki>{{Changes/a|</nowiki>''number1''|''number2''|''number-dec''|''percent-dec''|''increase-color''|''decrease-color''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>'''
where:
*'''<code>''number1''</code>''' is the base number. If the base number is not known, use NA or &#&#8203;32;.
*'''<code>''number2''</code>''' is the target number. If the target number is not known, use NA or &#&#8203;32;.
*'''<code>''number-dec''</code>''' is an optional number of decimal places in the formatted base number. (default=0)
*'''<code>''percent-dec''</code>''' is an optional number of decimal places in the formatted percent change. (default=2)
*'''<code>''increase-color''</code>''' is an optional color for a percent increase. (default=green)
*'''<code>''decrease-color''</code>''' is an optional color for a percent decrease. (default=red)

===Example===
The following syntax:
:<code><nowiki>{{Changes/a|1237|1345}}</nowiki></code>
produces the following Wiki markup:
:<code>{{Changes/a|1237|1345}}</code>
{{clear}}
