--NOTES:
-- [ These comments are skipped by <noinclude> and not sent
-- in formatted Internet pages, only during edit. ]
--
--NOTE A1: This template processes a number, for display, by
-- checking to display a fraction part ("/"), else it
-- will check for negative to display a unicode &minus
-- and {{formatnum:{{#expr:abs( {{{1|-6000}}} )}}}} such
-- as "-6000" with a full minus sign rather than hyphen.
-- In 99% of Wikipedia usage, there are no fractions.
--
--NOTE D2: The check, for fraction parts, uses parser-function
-- #titleparts to split the number at "/" (if any) and
-- then checks part 2 (the denominator, after the slash)
-- to trigger use of {{Convert/numdisp/fracparts}}. Hence,
-- #if: {{#titleparts:{{{1|6+3/8}}}|1|2}}
-- will be true if a denominator exists (such as "8").
--
--NOTE N3: This template uses minimal expansion depth of the
-- if-else logic by checking for "/" before invoking the
-- nested subtemplate {{Convert/numdisp/fracparts}}. The
-- check for a negative number increases the nesting depth
-- by 1 level to apply abs({1}) in a nested {#expr:} parser
-- function, to use the absolute value of the amount {1}.
--
--NOTE Z4: Any end-zeroes on a decimal are preserved by not
-- using positive amounts in an expression, and for rare
-- negative amounts, the &minus with inverse -{1} is padded
-- by {padright:} with end-zeroes "0" to {strlen_short} but
-- uses #ifexpr:{1}0={1} and floor({1})={1} to put ".".
-- So, {strlen_short} keeps minimal expansion depth of +2.
--
-- WARNING: *** DO NOT DELETE COMMENTS FROM THIS TEMPLATE ***
-- Unless these comments are readily available, people
-- might tinker with the coding (or rename templates),
-- in hopes to clarify operation because these comments
-- were not nearby to explain the issues. Having these
-- comments only on a doc-page increases the danger of
-- explanations no longer matching the current coding.
-- UPDATE these comments to match changes to the template.
-- UPDATE the HISTORY during major changes (not typos).

--HISTORY:
--03Apr09 Created by [[User:Jimp]] on English Wikipedia.
--19Nov10 Invokes subtemplate only if has denominator (at "/").
--19Nov10 Put NOTES comments to explain template coding.
--19Nov10 Put HISTORY comments to log major changes.
--19Nov10 Put all parameters on 1 line to avoid newline "2^ /3"
--20Nov10 Linked {Documentation} to hold any interwiki links.
--12Feb11 Shows Unicode &minus ("−") for negative numbers.
--17Feb11 Used {padright:} to re-add end-zeroes on negatives.
--17Feb11 Used #ifexpr:{1}0={1} and floor({1})={1}, to put "."
