+=== Usage ===
 Use this template like this
- <nowiki>{{subst:cents|ratio|precision}}</nowiki>
+<pre>{{subst: cents|ratio|prec}}</pre>
+=== Example ===
+This input in the wiki source
+<pre>{{subst: cents|3/2|5}}</pre>
+produces the following output
+: 701.95500
+Intervals can even be typed as evaluable mathematical expressions. For example:
+<pre>{{subst: cents|3^12/2^19|5}}</pre>
+gives:
+: 23.46001
+Add in a lowercase C to the end of the expression to add {{tlx|c}}:
+<pre>{{subst: cents|5/4c|2}}</pre>
