Manual

dplnum

Syntax

  {{#dplnum:text}}

Effect

Tries to guess a number that is buried in the text. Uses a set of heuristic rules which may work or not.

The idea is to extract the number so that it can be used as a sorting value in the column of a DPL table output.

Example

 {{#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}}     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}}
