<$>Currency Function

Top  Previous  Next

  If you wish your replacement text to include a currency equivalent of the Arabic numeral, precede or follow the number with

<$> (for just formatting to a dollar value style) or
<$$> (for both short and spelled out versions of the dollar amount).

  If <$$> is placed to the left of the number, the 'spelled-out' amount is the 'primary' value, and the formatted $number appears in parentheses. If <$$> is placed at the end of the number, the formatted $number is the primary value, and the 'spelled-out' amount appears in parenthesis.

 The results are shown below the example.
