I'd recommend the [currency] tag, which makes nembers look like money,
including adding or removing decimal places....but it also likes to add the money
symbol ('$' around here).  You might or might not want that.

The simplest way i know of....

[tmp the_price]3.14159[/tmp]
[calc] sprintf "%.2f", $Scratch->{the_price} [/calc]

For reference, it looks like it likes to round everything up to _and including_
.xx5 down toward 0.  Depending on where you learned math, you might need to
add a tiny fudge factor, say .0000001, in order to make it round 'correctly'.

If you already use a [calc] tag to figure the prices, or you already figure them
via perl, stick the sprintf there and save a step.


There's also this.... :)

CodeDef round Filter
CodeDef round Routine sub { sprintf "%.$_[2]f", (($_[0] || 0) + .000000001) }

Put that in a file in $IC_DIR/code/Filter, or just insert it into interchange.cfg.

Use it like 

[filter round.2]3.14159[/filter]
or
[filter op="round.2" interpolate="1"][scratch total][/filter]
or even
[data table=products field="price" key="3663a" filter="round.2"]

The .number is how many decimal places you want.

Enjoy :)
