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

{{Exchange Rate|TWD}}

Alternative layouts édit

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

Ajén tukeur EUR
Yahoo! Finance: AUD IDR CHF GBP HKD JPY USD
XE.com: AUD IDR CHF GBP HKD JPY USD
Investing.com: AUD IDR CHF GBP HKD JPY USD
OANDA.com: AUD IDR 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 édit

  • "Current XYZ exchange rates" looks like a section title, but it's not. This was done to "remove" the edit buttons 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 IE6) if I enlarge or shrink my font size.
