Compare:
- {{
rnd|2.0004|3}} gives 2.000- whereas {{
#expr:2.0004 round 3}} gives 2

Internal details
The template uses three subtemplates:
- {{rnd/-}} — for trailing zeros
- {{rnd/e+}} — for scientific notation for numbers greater than or equal to 109 or less than or equal to −109
- {{rnd/e−}} — for scientific notation for numbers greater than −10−4 and less than 10−4 but not equal to zero
