Internal details
The template calls Template:Rnd/b1 if the number, after rounding, is positive, Template:Rnd/b-1 if it is negative, and Template:Rnd/b0 if it is zero.
Their first parameter is the rounded number, their second the rounding parameter, and their third the value of the condition that the rounding parameter is positive.
