Manual	dplnum

Tries to guess a number that is buried in the 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.

Examples

{{#dplnum:this is 4711 a text with a number}} returns: {{#dplnum:this is 4711 a text with a number}}
{{#dplnum:well above 47 Mio. US$}} returns: {{#dplnum:well above 47 Mio US$}}
{{#dplnum:13 Mrd}}</nowiki> returns: {{#dplnum:13 Mrd}}
{{#dplnum:it is 47,123 Mio}} returns: {{#dplnum:it is 47,123 Mio}}
{{#dplnum:it is 47.123,56}} returns: {{#dplnum:it is 47.123}}
{{#dplnum:it is 47,000}} returns: {{#dplnum:it is 47,000}}
{{#dplnum:it is 4.13}} returns: {{#dplnum:it is 4.13}}
{{#dplnum:it is 4,13}} returns: {{#dplnum:it is 4,13}}
{{#dplnum:it is 0,13}} returns: {{#dplnum:it is 0,13}}
