Template:Inflation/BD
This sub-template either contains a country/region inflation table or calls one located in another sub-template. Its output is used by the {{Inflation}} template and possibly others. It is not meant to be called directly, but if you do, it will produce one or more lines containing each a number preceded by an asterisk (the multiply character) for use in {{#expr:}} and related parser functions:
- 1.020
- 0.999
- 1.002
Usage
[edit source]{{Inflation/BD|year1|year2}}
where year1 and year2 determine the range of "multiply by n" lines that will be returned.
Failing to provide one or both parameters, providing a year2 lower than year1, or providing a year1 and a year2 that are both lower than the lowest or higher than the highest year in the table, is an undefined operation that will result in either "* 1" or an empty string, depending on how the dataset is constructed. Similarly, providing a year1 lower than the lowest year in the table, and a year2 higher than the highest year in the table, will also return either "* 1" or the whole table. Providing any non-numeric parameter will result in one or more red errors that should be handled with the {{#iferror:}} parser function.
