3.21 BUG %format
|
%format() with the argument "n", seems to be broken, as seen here:
| Code: |
<alias name="test_form" id="1534">
<value>#show %repeat("-", 17)
#show "|"%format(&-15 .0n, 20,000)"|"
#show %repeat("-", 17)
#show "|"%format( &-15 n, 20,000)"|"
#show %repeat("-", 17)</value>
</alias>
|
It cropped up in a script of mine where I noticed that:
%format( &-15 .0n, $_total_dam)
didn't work, but
%format( &-15 n, $_total_dam)
did. Can anyone confirm?
EDIT: changing to %format(&-15.0n, <number>) fixed it, but it worked with the space before 3.20 |

I see no reason why it _should_ work with a space before the decimal. "&-15.0n" needs to be a single unit in order for it to work. That is true in other programming languages as well. I'm not sure where you got the idea that putting a space there was appropriate--nothing in the documentation suggests that it should be possible.
There are other problems with your code. For one, the first parameter of %format is supposed to be a string, so it should be within quotation marks, e.g. "&-15.0n". Second, you are using implicit concatenation again. The implicit concatenation is probably acceptable here, but you really ought to start using explicit concatenation.
| Code: |
| #show %concat("|",%format("&-15.0n", 20,000),"|") |

It's actually explicit in the script. But here's the odd thing, in 2.37, when I tried %format(&-15.0n), it didn't work, that's why I put a space in the first place. It also didn't work when I surrounded it in quote marks, but that was with the space. Perhaps it will be different now.
