Template:INRConvert/doc

Purpose
The purpose of this template is to automatically convert and format currency from Indian Rupees to other currencies (United States Dollars by default) applying adjustment for inflation where appropriate. Rates of exchange and inflation must be manually copied by editors therefore the template's output does not necessarily reflect the present exchange rates or price indices but, rather, reflects the rates and indices at the time of the last update.

Parameters
A description of the template's parameters are listed below.

Precautions
Using the year causes the calling page's Highest expansion depth to be very high, typically at least 33. The limit is 40. Take particular care using year when calling this template from within other templates, as this will further increase the template expansion depth of Wikipedia pages that call templates that call this one.

Updating
It is important to keep the figures used in these conversions up to date. Data for current exchange rates is kept at INRConvert/CurrentRate. Data for historical exchange rates are kept at INRConvert/HistoricalRate. Data for the inflation rate is at Inflation/IN/dataset (see Template:Inflation for details). Feel free to update these if you are able to.
