Dplnum

Manual

dplnum

This module tries to guess a number that is buried in text, using a set of heuristic rules which may work or not. The idea is to extract the number, so it can be used as a sorting value in the column of a DPL table output.

Syntax

{{#dplnum:text}} where text is a number within some text.
