 trailing zeros preserved (both within org and in html export). What's
 the best way?


Some examples would help.

If you want to return the numbers as strings *and* you want the results
to be captured as an Org-mode table, then you should use the :results
org output type so that you have complete control over the table.

For example,


#+begin_src sh :results output org :exports results
  cat EOF
  | 1. | 22.000 |
  | 333.00 | .0 |
  EOF
#+end_src

Best,
