Template:Change

Use

This template calculates the percent change between two real number values and displays the result in a sortable format.

The syntax for this template is as follows.

{{change|1st No.|2nd No.|dec=rounding|pre=prefix|suf=suffix|sort=on/off|italics=on/off|bold=on/off|invert=on/off|disp=row/out|rowspan=rowspan|align=alignment|bgcolour=background colour}}

parameter	function
1	1st No. is the first number displayed representing the base value.
2	2nd No. is the second number displayed representing the object value.
dec	This is the number of decimal places to round the percentage change to.
pre	This adds a prefix to the first and second numbers.
pre1	This adds a prefix to the first number.
pre2	This adds a prefix to the second number.
suf	This adds a suffix to the first and second numbers.
suf1	This adds a suffix to the first number.
suf2	This adds a suffix to the second number.
sort	This adds or removes the {{nts}}-compatible sort key from the first two cells. The default is only to add this if a prefix or suffix is used (i.e. only if needed).
italics	This can either have the value of on or off. italics=on makes the output italic. The default is italics=off.
bold	This can either have the value of on or off. bolds=on makes the output bold. The default is bold=off.
invert	This can either have the value of on or off. invert=on switches the base and object values in the calculation of percentage change. The default is invert=off.
align	This adjusts the alignment of text in cells. align=center and align=left aligns the text to the centre and left respectively. The default is align=right.
rowspan	This adjust the row span of cells. The default is rowspan=1.
bgcolour	This adjusts the background colour of cells. The default is bgcolour=inherit (inherits this value from the table).
disp	This controls what is output. disp=out produces the percentage change only (and thus align, rowspan and bgcolour do not work with disp=out). The default is disp=row which produces three cells in a table row.
