Usage
From other Lua modules
local roundAndPad = require('Module:Decimals')._main
result = roundAndPad(n, decimals)
From wikitext
{{#invoke:Decimals|main|n|decimals}}
For more information, see Template:Decimals.

end
local decimals = tonumber(d)
if not decimals then
error('Unable to convert "' .. tostring(d) .. '" to a number')
end

if decimals > maxDecimals then decimals = maxDecimals end

if decimals < 0 then
