hi everyone,

maybe someone has done this before and could advise me: i want to format a floating point variable so it comes out using the european decimal point notation. so instead of 12.5 i would like it to say 12,5 etc.

the DTML guide offers some nice built-in formats (like "dollars-and-cents"), i wonder if someone had an idea about maybe doing a "euros-and-cents" one, with the right decimal punctuation and a euro sign ;)

I would suggest looking at the C format string option ala printf. http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/DTML/DTML-HTML/DTML.5.1.html If you want a euros-and-cents format, you'll have to submit a patch. However you might want to talk to some of the internationalization guys in the community first. -Michel

P.S.: at this point i wonder why i ever wrote static HTML... :P
