Instruction

It is very easy to use this template. You will know right away when you see this example:

{{Exchange rate|TWD}}

which produces

Additional currencies

You may also specify up to 3 additional foreign currencies.

{{Exchange rate|SGD|MYR|CNY|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

Current EUR exchange rates

From Google Finance: AUD CAD CHF GBP HKD JPY USD
From Yahoo! Finance: AUD CAD CHF GBP HKD JPY USD
From XE: AUD CAD CHF GBP HKD JPY USD
From OANDA: AUD CAD CHF GBP HKD JPY USD
From fxtop.com: AUD CAD CHF GBP HKD JPY USD

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}}

Caveat

  • "Current XYZ exchange rates" looks like a section title, but it's not. This was done to "remove" the edit links 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) if I enlarge or shrink my font size.

Choice of currencies

Currently, the 8 default currencies listed here are Bloomberg's benchmark currencies [1].
