Comment:
I am taking the liberty to revisit this ticket and to reopen the
discussion.
I believe a lot has changed this implementing a percent filter was
initially dismissed. We are perfectly capable to render number via
`floatformat`. Shifting the point/comma by two places and adding a
`&percent;` does not seem unreachable.
IMHO we don't need to solve all possible cases here, but the most common
one. A value or rather ratio between 0 to 1 that is better contextualized
in percent. Thousand-separators seem unnecessary, since in most cases
values above 1 would usually not be displayed as percent unless you love
adding aditional zeros.
I would propose a filter as simple as `flaotformat` but with a percentage
sign and a fix decimal shift.
{{{
my_value = 1 / 42
my_value
>>> 0.023809523809523808
my_value|percent:2 # in a template
>>> "2.38 &percent;"
>>> "2,38 &percent;" # if you use comma
}}}
