[Zope] Round This!

[Eron Lloyd]

Hi Ben -

Are you trying to FORMAT this value into a string representation? If this is 
the case, then <dtml-var name="subtotal" fmt="dollars-and-cents"> will do the 
trick. Or, you could turn it into a float first (I assume you get a integer 
for 'subtotal') and then round to two decimal points:
<dtml-var expr="_.round(_.float(subtotal), 2)"> to get a result. You are 
trying to round an integer (because you get an even dollar amount), so 
rounding won't make a difference in decimal amounts. Check the dtml-var API 
documentation for more clarification on the 'fmt' attribute.

Hope that helps,

Eron
