TAG REFERENCE

<currency:format>

Given a price, usually in decimal form, format returns a formatted price using the various options in Locale::Currency::Format.

<currency:format>
    <currency:price>10.9</currency:price>
</currency:format>  # prints &amp;#x0024;10.50

The format tag has three available attributes to control the output:

code

This is the 3 letter currency code used to specify the currency in use. The code attribute can also be specified using a child tag instead:

<currency:format>
    <currency:code>USD</currency:code>
</currency:format>

USD is used as the default if no currency code is specified. See Locale::Currency::Format and Locale::Currencty for all of the available currency codes.

If Locale::Currency is installed, it will verify the 3 letter code is actually a valid currency code and die if it is not, otherwise it simply checks that the code conforms to:

/^[A-Z]{3}$/

options

This is a string containing the formatting options to be used to specify the desired output format. The options attribute can also be specified using a child tag instead:

<currency:format>
    <currency:options>FMT_STANDARD | FMT_NOZEROS</currency:options>
</currency:format>

FMT_SYMBOL is used as the default if no options are specified. See Locale::Currency::Format for all of the available format options.

price

This is the price to be formatted. While it can be passed as an attribute, the more common usage will be as a child tag:

<currency:format>
    <currency:price>19.95</currency:price>
</currency:format>

You can also next a convert tag inside of price to format the results of a currency conversion:

<convert:price>
    <currency:convert from="USD|CAD|JPY|..." price="10.95" to="CAD|JPY|...">
        <currency:from></currency:from>
        <currency:price</currency:price>
        <currency:to></currency:to>
    </currency:convert>
</convert:price>

<currency:symbol>

Returns the monetary symbol for the specified currency code.

<currency:symbol code="USD"/>   # prints $

The symbol tag has two available attributes to control the output:

code

This is the 3 letter currency code used to specify the currency in use. The code attribute can also be specified using a child tag instead:

<currency:symbol>
    <currency:code>USD</currency:code>
</currency:symbol>

USD is used as the default if no currency code is specified. See Locale::Currency::Format for all of the available currency codes.

If Locale::Currency is installed, it will verify the 3 letter code is actually a valid currency code and die if it is not, otherwise it simply checks that the code conforms to:

/^[A-Z]{3}$/

options

This is a string containing the formatting options to be used to specify the desired output format. The options attribute can also be specified using a child tag instead:

<currency:symbol code="USD">
    <currency:options>SYM_HTML|SYM_UTF</currency:options>
</currency:symbol>

SYM_UTF is used as the default if no options are specified. See Locale::Currency::Format for all of the available format options.

<currency:convert>

Converts a price from one currency to another using Finance::Currency::Convert::WebserviceX.

<currency:convert from="USD|CAD|JPY|..." price="10.95" to="CAD|JPY|...">
    <currency:from></currency:from>
    <currency:price</currency:price>
    <currency:to></currency:to>
</currency:convert>

The convert tag has three available attributes to control the output:

from

This is the 3 letter currency code used to specify the currency in use. The from attribute can also be specified using a child tag instead:

<currency:convert>
    <currency:from>USD</currency:from>
</currency:convert>

USD is used as the default if no currency code is specified.

If Locale::Currency is installed, it will verify the 3 letter code is actually a valid currency code and die if it is not, otherwise it simply checks that the code conforms to:

/^[A-Z]{3}$/

See Locale::Currency for all of the available currency codes.

price

This is the price to be formatted. While it can be passed as an attribute, the more common usage will be as a child tag:

<currency:convert>
    <currency:price>19.95</currency:price>
</currency:convert>

to

This is the 3 letter currency code used to specify the currency in use. The to attribute can also be specified using a child tag instead:

<currency:convert>
    <currency:to>USD</currency:to>
</currency:convert>

If Locale::Currency is installed, it will verify the 3 letter code is actually a valid currency code and die if it is not, otherwise it simply checks that the code conforms to:

/^[A-Z]{3}$/

See Locale::Currency for all of the available currency codes.
