CHANGES
As of version 0.10, the defaults have changed. If no "options" are
specified for "symbol", the default is now "SYM_UTF" instead of
"SYM_HTML". If no "options" are specified for "format", "FMT_SYMBOL" is
used instead of "FMT_HTML".

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 &#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.
