#### Shortcode
To enable the shortcode simply use [currencyr] and use the following syntax:
```
[currencyr amount=$amount to=$code<|$code>]
```
* **amount** – The number that you wish to convert.
* **to** – The currency code. Use “|” as separator for multiple conversion.
* **from** (optional) – The currency code. If omitted the Base Currency from setting
will be use.
Examples:
[currencyr amount=99.99 to=gbp]
```
[currencyr amount=99.99 from=aud to=gbp]
[currencyr amount=99.99 to=gbp|eur|cad]
```
#### Function Call
The conversion feature is available to call within templates or codes using either
currencyr_exchange() or the_currencyr_exchange(). Both functions share the same
arguments, the diferrent is the_currencyr_exchange() is only echoes the result automatically.

* **amount** – The number that you wish to convert.
* **to** – The currency code.
* **from** (optional) – The currency code. If omitted the Base Currency from setting
will be use.
