Extension:FormatNum/scn

Extension FormatNum makes it easier to format numbers in the style you want, independent of language settings. For input "english" format is used with point as decimal separator.

Usage



 * otsep: thousands separator in the number given, that will be removed. For example when having a number like 123.456.789,123 and setting otsep=. will remove all points from the number before converting.
 * mint: the minimal number given to separate thousands. For example when setting to 4 the number 1234 will remain as is and 12345 will be separated to 12 345.

Examples

 * result: 2 300,12
 * result: 2 300,12


 * result: 2,300.12
 * result: 2,300.12


 * result: 2,300.12
 * result: 2,300.12


 * result: 2&thinsp;300,12
 * result: 2&thinsp;300,12

As thousand separator the following parameters can be also used
 * n – will be &nbsp&#59;
 * t – will be &thinsp&#59;
