[Zope] dtml-var and the fmt attribute

[Jim Sanford]

TRY: (untested)

<dtml-if "ord==2">
<dtml-var DP30 fmt="%3d" thousands_commas null='0'>
<dtml-else>
<dtml-call REQUEST.set('cell_fmt','%3.2f')>
</dtml-if>

Note - In my experience the null= requires a string argument. (At least
everytime I have tried to use a plain number Zope has choked on me.) This is
probably because zope is normally rendering output for a browser - ie. text.
